A street view of the Old United States Mint at the corner of 5th and Mission Streets in San Francisco. The large two story building is of Greek Revival design and is faced in granite and sandstone. The road is paved with cobblestones and has tracks for trolley cars. One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, or the California Midwinter International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1894, hence the suggested date.
