Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the U.S. Tires building, [s.d.]. What appear to be two gods are visible engraved on the stone wall of the building at left. The engraving at left depicts a man facing right with wings and a beard. The engraving to the right of the first depicts a man with a beard facing left who is holding a walking stick. An opened window can be seen between the two engravings, while designs can be seen sculpted across the top of the roof. The building continues towards the right background where it grows to three-stories. Grass, bushes, and fire hydrants can be seen to the right of the building.
