A group of nine individuals are bicycling past the front of the building whose brick-faced side sports signs which read "Deleware Elegantly", "Deleware Restaurant First Class [...] All Hours", "Cleveland and Envoy Bicycles" as well as "Wheels for Rent". Behind some treecover in the background, the Spring St. School and the spire of the First Baptist Church can be seen.
