The County Bank building stands on the corner to the right with arched windows and elaborate column decorations, three stories high. To its left, the three-story S. Hellman Photographic Gallery also follows along the street with the two-story Wells Fargo and Co. Express building (of similar architecture) still farther to the left. Pedestrians, people on horseback, a horse-drawn carriage and a horse-drawn streetcar are all visible navigating the road.
