- Description
- This image depicts the U-shape courtyard of a three story building. Made of brick, the narrow courtyard ends in a round curve with two green doors, one on each side of the courtyard. Each door is reached by a set of four steps. Between the doors and lining the walls are banks of windows, many with broken glass. Two windows between the green doors are boarded over. There is a large pile of garbage in the center of the courtyard, and litter is scattered along the edge of the walls and on the steps.
