A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a small building structure with a large window, inside of which a light-skinned man, woman, and boy sit. A sign above the window reads, "SHERIFF," and a telephone is visible behind the smiling woman. The boy takes a sip of a beverage in a glass bottle, and the man wears a hat, obscuring his face.
