In the foreground, the stone façade of Blair Hall is visible through the archway, adorned with black iron brackets supporting lanterns and featuring two rectangular windows on its lower level.

The walls are composed of rough-hewn stone blocks, while the roof is covered in white snow.
Beyond the archway, Lockhart Hall stands as a majestic backdrop. This imposing structure boasts a large central door flanked by two smaller doors and topped with a triangular pediment featuring a statue of a winged figure. Its three stories are constructed from brown brick laid in a herringbone pattern, complemented by stone window and door surrounds and a stone base.
The snow-covered quadrangle stretches out before Lockhart Hall, dotted with several evergreen trees and a few bare deciduous branches rising above the surrounding buildings. In the background, additional buildings are visible, including a tall chimney on the left side of the image. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility, evoked by the soft snowfall and the classic architecture of the university's historic buildings.
