The street is full of an assortment of automobiles and lined with tall buildings and utility poles. At left, a four-story building houses the Anderson Tire Company and a hotel. At right, several low buildings appear to house retail stores. Tall trees can be seen mixed in among buildings in the background. Legible signs include, from left: "Glass Sash Doors Owah-Scheff & Co.", "Anderson Tire Co.", "Apartments Hotel Rooms", "Low Weekly and Monthly Rates", "Machine Shop", "Tire Service", and "Garage".
