House Raising

The painting depicts a street scene with several buildings and people. A large tree stands on the right side of the dirt road. A white horse is harnessed to a wagon on the right. A group of people are in the center of the image, near a house that appears to be under construction or being moved. The house has a ladder leaning against it and several men are holding ropes or pushing it. There are two other buildings on the left side of the image. One has a porch with steps. The sky is blue with some clouds. The painting is titled "House Raising" by William P. Chappel.
