This warehouse-sized, light-colored, art deco building at center has two large "Ralph's" signs in the front of the building, right of center. The parking lot extends from the front of the building along the left side, and is full of at least forty-two vehicles. Ten of which line the side of the building, another seventeen are in the front, and four more are in the foreground next to a man in a suit and hat, carrying a paper grocery bag walking with a woman.
