Here is a description of the image:

This is a black and white inverted photograph depicting a street scene in the evening. The image is labeled at the bottom as "#76D BLDGS. COR. OF SILVER ST. TO *154 DORCHESTER AVE. DEC 12, 1911".

On the left side of the frame, there is a two-story building. The business on the first floor is I. Margolis, a store that sells groceries, provisions, buttermilk, and bread. An advertisement for Pippin's apple cider is on the left side of the store front. The door is open, revealing the interior. A street lamp is positioned outside the building.

To the right of this building, a dark alley or narrow street recedes into the distance. On the right side of the frame, there is a large, multi-story brick building. The building appears to be an old brick townhouse. The windows are evenly spaced, and some have shutters. The details of the building are somewhat obscured.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a black and white, possibly negative, photograph of a street scene. The view is dominated by buildings and appears to be taken at night. The lighting is a bit stark, which is typical of negative photography.

Buildings:

  • The image features multiple buildings, suggesting a city or town environment.
  • The buildings have a somewhat old-fashioned architecture, which includes window shutters, and appear to be made of brick.
  • On the left, there appears to be a business, visible by the sign that reads "I. Margolis," indicating a grocery store or a shop selling groceries and provisions, bread, and flour. There's a sign for "Pippins" as well.

Street and Other Details:

  • A street is visible, running between the buildings and away from the viewer.
  • The presence of streetcar tracks suggests that public transportation was available at the time.
  • A street lamp is visible, and it is casting light in the area.

Date and Location:

  • The bottom right corner indicates the date, "DEC 12, 1911".
  • The text at the bottom states "BLDGS. COR. OF SILVER ST. TO 154 DORCHESTER AVE.", suggesting the location is at the intersection of Silver Street to 154 Dorchester Avenue.

Overall, the image provides a glimpse into an urban setting from the early 20th century.
