Black and white photograph of the north and west facades of Estevan lodge. The exterior of the building is in wood and the gable roof is made of cedar shingles. The windows are equipped with shutters. The fishing camp is equipped with a generous verandah on which is placed rack for fishing rods. At the back of the main building are outbuildings occupied by the owner's servants. The two-storey building is slightly set back to the west in relation to the main building. The building is surrounded by a flowering meadow. We can see the huge cedar hedge that occupies the front space of the fishing camp.
