The image is a black and white inverted photograph of a city intersection with several large buildings. The negative effect creates a ghostly, almost dreamlike quality.

On the left side of the frame is a building with a sign reading "THE NEW ENGLAND TRUST COMPANY". Above the signage, a window reads “BONDS.” A partially visible wheel of what appears to be a horse-drawn carriage or cart is in the foreground.

The right and upper sections of the image are dominated by a large, multi-story building. Its architectural style is classical, with repeating window patterns, arched doorways, and ornamental detailing. A sign at street level identifies a "State National Bank". Awnings extend from the building over the storefronts.

The intersection is wet, with reflections visible on the brick-paved street. There is a sense of movement captured in the photo, as the wet road is slightly blurry suggesting motion captured during a longer exposure. Carriages are waiting in front of the bank.

Notes along the bottom of the image indicate that the photograph was taken on the "N. side of Water St., E. side of Devonshire St" on "July 29, 1903". The image has the number 3448.
