This black-and-white image is a photographic negative depicting a street corner scene featuring the Washington Market, a multi-story building with wooden siding and several windows. Above one of the windows, the sign "Washington Market" is boldly displayed. There is additional signage below the windows advertising items such as "Salad Tea."

The building is situated in a relatively quiet residential area, with utility poles and power lines visible throughout the scene. Tracks for a possible street railway run along the road. Adjacent to the market are other buildings, including what appear to be houses or possibly apartment-style structures with porches and distinct architectural details typical of the early 20th century.

The trees in the scene have no leaves, suggesting autumn or winter. The tone of the image creates a stark, high-contrast impression due to the negative effect. The handwritten text on the bottom reads: "Union Square crossing—junction of Washburn Ave and Prospect St." Dates or numbers written on the negative indicate that the image was likely captured in November 1910.

The photograph shows a two-story structure with prominent signage that reads "WASHINGTON MARKET." The market building has several windows, some with shutters, and a display window featuring items and signage like "SALAD," "TEA," and "SARDINES."

Nearby structures have a similar two-story design, with various windows and porches. The street in front of the market has visible tracks, suggesting the presence of a streetcar line or railway.

Leafless trees indicate it might be fall or winter, and the writing "Nov. 2406" at the bottom suggests November as the time of year. Given the negative format, the colors are inverted, with darker areas appearing light and vice versa.

This is a historic black and white photograph showing a street corner with the Washington Market building as the main focus. The market is a two-story wooden structure with clapboard siding and white trim, featuring multiple windows with shutters. There are advertisements visible in the windows, and the "Washington Market" sign is prominently displayed on the front of the building.

The scene appears to be from the late 19th or early 20th century, with utility poles and electrical/telegraph wires visible overhead. There are several other similar wooden buildings visible along the street, creating a typical American small-town commercial streetscape of that era. The street appears to have trolley or rail tracks running along it, and the image was taken at night or in low-light conditions, as evidenced by the dark sky and what appears to be artificial lighting illuminating the buildings.

The architecture is typical of New England commercial buildings from this period, with its simple, functional design and pitched roof. The overall image provides an interesting glimpse into American urban life and commerce during this historical period.
