The American flag, twisted around the wooden pole on the Island, is the focal point this picture. Lucy and W.A. Holt with their children are standing to the right of the flag pole. Jeannette Holt seems to be doing the honors of raising the American flag. Alfred Holt, with his hands on the rope, is standing to the left of Jeannette Holt. Toddler Eleanor Holt is standing in front of her father, who is also holding a rope. The letters "SL," part of the Island Lodge flag, can be seen above the American flag on the pole. There are tall trees in the background.
