The image appears to be a photographic negative of a street scene featuring a hotel. The hotel is a multi-story building with the sign "Nixon Hotel" on its roof. The architecture suggests an older style, possibly dating back to the mid-20th century. There are various cars parked along the street, including a panel van with a visible license plate and older car models, indicative of the time period. Several signs are visible on the ground floor of the hotel, one of which reads "Chambers' Confectionery." The surrounding environment includes bare trees, suggesting the photo might have been taken during late fall or winter. The streetlight in the foreground has a classic design, further supporting the image's historical setting. The negative nature of the image means that areas which are typically dark appear light and vice versa.
