A male pedestrian, viewed close-up, walks towards the camera in the foreground at right. Behind him, a crosswalk extends back towards center, crossing 4th Avenue. 4th Avenue extends across the image in the foreground. At left, 4th Avenue intersects South Jackson Street. The latter stretches into the distance on an angle from left to center. Pedestrians stand on the southeast street corner in the near distance at center. At far right and on the opposite side of 4th Avenue, Union Station enters frame at right. The Beaux Arts building is viewed at an angle from the front. A large porte-cochere extends from the front of the building. Cars park in front of the building in the near distance at center. Additional cars and a trolley travel along South Jackson Street, driving away from camera. In the distance, left-of-center, buildings line South Jackson Street. Atop a building at center, a sign stands, reading, "BUSH HOTEL FREE GARAGE."
