Group portrait of men and boys pictured with eight horses outside a large barn with a lean-to shed attached on the left. The stables served the Adam Schumacher Brewery (later the Potosi Brewing Company). On the far left a man is seated in a carriage. There is a two-story brick building on the right, likely the 1902 Schumacher Brewery bottling works. A steep hill is visible in the background on the left.
circa 1910
