Further down the street on the right are several smaller buildings with awnings on the street level, and the Green Hotel is on the other end of the block. There is an extensive web of utility wires above the intersection, and in the street and on the sidewalk there is an assortment of mounted riders, pedestrians and horse drawn vehicles.
