Two photos sit side by side -- one of Dot in black and white and one of Cookie in color. Dot sits on a chair with one leg propped up, a striped dress on, and short, curly dark hair. In the second photo, Cookie stands in a light pink button-up blouse and white shorts in front of the original facade of Dot's Back Inn, which is white brick with a striped dark green awning. Cookie has dark hair cut just above her shoulders. She's smiling.

A spiral staircase can be seen to the right. There are a couple of framed art pieces on the walls and decorations near the floors. Behind the tree, an open doorway leads to a black piano in a separate room.

A green courtyard is framed with trees and flora. A brick path leading to the center of the courtyard displays an ornate, stone flower vase with orange/red blooms. At the back of the courtyard is a stone fountain and a brick building with no doors, but three arches. The bust of Edgar Allen Poe is inside. At the far right, a grey/black cat walks along the brick path siding the courtyard.
