Here is a description of the image:

The image is a sepia-toned photograph composed of two panels. The left panel features typed text. The text describes the Locust Street Settlement in Hampton, Virginia, established in 1890 as a settlement for colored people. It mentions that the settlement was an outgrowth of Hampton Institute and that its purpose was to "help girls and women to become good home makers." The text also lists the character of work, which included clubs and classes in cooking, sewing, basketry, crocheting and knitting, needlework, singing, gardening, and games.

The right panel contains a photograph of a family inside a home. A man, seated, is reading a book. Beside him is a woman seated with a small child on her lap. In the background, across from the man, are two more children, a boy and a girl, seated at a desk, each absorbed in their studies. There are framed pictures hanging on the wall above the fireplace, and a desk lamp is placed on the desk along with some books.

The caption below the photograph identifies the people in the picture as the founder and head worker with her husband and children. It further states that the husband is the Secretary and Manager of the Building and Loan Society.
