The building and an adjacent building are decorated with American flags (hanging from the windows), lines of light bulbs (similar to Christmas lights), and a big ball hanging outwards from the middle of the building.

Legible signs include: on a streetcar "Washington St.", "ice cream", 'pharmacy", "Dr.Duffield", "elected by Bilicke [...]", "Robin Hood", "hotel".
