A scratchy photograph of Union Station, as viewed at an angle from the front at the intersection of South Jackson Street and 4th Avenue in Seattle. Several pedestrians cross 4th Avenue at center; half approach the camera and the other half walk away from camera. The crosswalk enters frame from the lower right corner and 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 a slight angle from left to 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. In front of the station, at left, cars congest South Jackson Street in the near distance. Farther down South Jackson Street, buildings line both sides of the street. Five punched holes dot the bottom edge.
