A paved road with streetcar tracks in it can be seen from the foreground into the background. An overpass can be seen at center.

A four-story brick building with stores on the ground level can be seen at right. An automobile is parked in front, while people sit on a bench. A billboard in front of a building can be seen at left reading, "[...] State Dairy Products". Other buildings are visible in the background. Compare: CHS-42113, CHS-42114.
