Picture Window – A picture window is a large, fixed-pane window, generally made without glazing bars. It gets its name from the fact that it is designed to give you a clear view of your surroundings without any obstruction, essentially acting as a picture frame for the scenery outside the window.

Retaining Walls – possibly constructed by the Frank W. Murrell and Sons Company who specialized in Stonemasonry, Brick and Concrete.
