Dozens of people can be seen walking along between the buildings. At right, a large slide supported by wooden scaffolding can be seen. A pier runs from left to right in the background and has large buildings on both ends. The ocean is visible in the background at right. Legible signs include, from left: "Christopher's Ice Cream", "Hart's Confectionary Table Service", "Whirl-O-Ball", "Niagara Barrel", "Hotel", "The Dragon Sky High slide", "Lee's", "Barbeque", and "Serves You Right".
