There are broad cement sidewalks running along both sides of the street and the sidewalk at left is crowded with pedestrians.

Legible signs include, from left to right, "Stationery", "Bullock's", Walter P. Sto[?] Building", "Lyon McKinney Smith Co. Furniture", "Van Sant Piano Co.", "Stoves Water He[aters]", "Office and Bank Fur[niture]", "Shades Wall Paper Interior", "Furniture Barker Bros. Inc.", and "Carpets, Oriental & Domestic Rugs".
