The Claremont

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Claremont by Childe Hassam: A large brick building with a flat roof and white trim is centered in the image. The building has three stories, with a covered porch on the first floor and a balcony on the second and third floors. Three flags are flying above the building. A dirt road curves around a garden bed in front of the building. Horse-drawn carriages are traveling on the road. The road is bordered by a white picket fence. There are trees on either side of the road, and a grassy area to the left. The sky is blue with some clouds.
