Black and white photograph of a two-building complex consisting of a medium size butter factory, and a manager's cottage, both made of timber with corrugated iron roof. The property is fenced, the surrounding land cleared.

The cottage, to the right of the factory, has a sash window in the side wall, two larger windows in the front wall and a door, a brick built chimney is on the farthest end wall and a flue appears just above the roof at the back.

The factory has five windows under the eaves of the side wall with what appears to be another larger window and a door lower down on that wall. Both are partially hidden behind a ladder. The front wall of the factory has two windows; two vents, one beneath the peak of the roof, the other lower and further over in what appears to be the boiler room; there is a long flue exiting from the roof. The loading stage has an open sliding door through which a milk can be seen.

In front of the factory is a flat-bed horse-drawn vehicle with driver and 3 milk cans on board; behind the vehicle is a man; standing by the wheel of the vehicle is a female child; behind this group is a horse-drawn passenger vehicle driven by a well-dressed man, there are two cream cans attached to the vehicle.
