Here is a description of the image:

The sepia-toned photograph shows a collection of aged structures, identified as bird houses by a handwritten note attached to the lower right corner of the image, which reads, "Myriads of birds make nests in the tunnels of these storehouses." The bird houses are brick or stone buildings, which are constructed in a crude fashion, with large openings or tunnels visible throughout the exterior, particularly at the top of the taller structures. The structures appear to be aged, worn, and somewhat dilapidated.

There is a figure seated in one of the arched doorways and another stands near a doorway. The rest of the image consists of walls and buildings that run through the background of the scene, as well as a dirt area that runs up to the buildings. The sky is lighter and blank, indicating possible overexposure of the photograph, typical of the older photographic processes.

The actual photographic print is mounted on a larger black cardstock page, which shows its age in the worn edges and corners of the frame. There is a reference number printed onto the black background just below the photographic print in the lower left corner, "P1985.30.53" and a small, translucent rectangular piece of paper with the aforementioned writing on it that is taped to the black cardboard just under the bottom center of the image.
