Highrise buildings fill the background. The rooftops of two buildings are visible in the left and right foregrounds. A billboard advertising "Sunkist. A Big Help to Health. Best for Juice- and Every Use" tops a building in the right centerground. Legible signs, from left to right, include: "United Air Lines", "Drake-Wiltshire Hotel", "Hotel Plaza", "Calver[?]. The Whiskey Everybody Likes", "Packard. Earle C. Packard, Inc", "and "Howard Building".
