This is a photograph, rectangle in shape, depicting the front face of a three story red-brick building. The second and third stories each have three windows. All of the windows are spaced apart evenly - with the center window of each story directly in the center of the building. There are two windows on the bottom floor, placed directly underneath the center windows and right windows (if you are looking at the building) on the two floors above it. All of these windows have green shutters. When looking at the building, one can see on the left hand side of the home, directly under the windows on the far left of the second and third stories, is an entry way. There is a white frame holding up a glass arch and entryway, also framed in white. After passing through this initial frame one would approach a green door. In between the entryway and the center window on the first floor, there is a plaque, but the camera is too far away to be able to see what it says.

The Lewis and Harriet Hayden House is a stop along Boston's Black Heritage Trail and was an Underground Railroad station during the time prior to the American Civil War.
