Creator(s)	Chamberlain, W. G. (William Gunnison), 1815-1910.
Summary	Exterior view of the residence of Robert Orchard Old, located near Georgetown, Colorado. Owned later by John Grafton Rogers and taken down in 1965, the house is one-story wood construction with a steep gable roof and a porch with arches across the front of the house. Five people are near the entrance: an elderly woman, a woman holding a baby, a small child, and a man in a hat and white shirt. The man squirts a garden hose, and the spray forms an arc under the arches of the porch. A white picket fence with an open gate and a large closed gate is partly built on a rock wall. A hitching post is in front, a rocky unpaved road is in the foreground, and the side of the mountain fills the background.
