Summary:Pennants fly from the roof of a frame building, probably a house or yacht club, largely concealed by trees. A schooner and sailboats are at anchor in the water nearby. In the distance, a steamboat with the name "Harlem" on its paddlewheel, is at a dock. The tall tower near the stern appears to be a windmill. A large frame building, probably the terminus of the Danbury & Norwalk branch of the Housatonic Railroad is at the right. One of the Norwalk Islands is visible in Long Island Sound in the right background. Inscribed beneath image: "Inst.
