This image is a black-and-white photo negative of an intersection, specifically identified as the corners of Lynde and Cambridge Streets, dated October 23, 1911. The scene features historical architecture, including multi-story brick buildings, one with a cupola or steeple-style structure. Bare trees, likely reflecting the autumn season, are visible throughout the scene. There is a wrought iron fence surrounding an open lot or courtyard area in the middle ground.

On the left side, there is a storefront with signage, possibly a laundry establishment. A person seems to be stepping outside or walking near the storefront, while two people on the right side of the image are visible in detail, possibly dressed in early 20th-century fashion. One appears to be wearing a hat and a dress with long sleeves, while the other person, slightly out of focus, could be wearing formal attire.

The composition reflects a slice of urban life over a century ago, recorded in negative form, lending the scene a strikingly inverted tonal and eerie aesthetic.
