The Joseph H. Williams family are gathered for a group portrait in their front parlor at 350 West Tenth Street. Joseph Williams is standing at the left and his wife, Katherine Williams, is seated directly in front of him. Next to them are their two daughters. Leah Williams is standing and Ada Williams is seated. The two women on the right, possibly a grandmother and an aunt, are unidentified. The older woman is wearing a printed calico dress. Behind the family is an upright piano with sheet music visible. A fringed piano scarf of printed velvet adorns the top where family portraits are displayed. A simple patterned carpet covers the floor and the walls are ornamented with framed prints suspended by wire from picture molding. A tall, double doorway opens into the back parlor or sitting room. An incandescent bulb covered with a fluted opalescent glass shade hangs from the front parlor ceiling.
