This image is a negative photograph of a busy street scene featuring a commercial corner building. Prominent signage on the corner building advertises "Davis Bros Diamonds Watches Jewelry and Silverware" along with "Men's Furnishings" under "The Imperial." The negative effect inverts the colors, giving the image a surreal look where light areas appear dark and vice versa. There are several people visible on the street, dressed in early 20th-century attire, as well as a horse-drawn cart in the background. The architectural style is consistent with buildings of the late 19th or early 20th century, with large windows and brick facades. Additional signs advertise businesses and services, such as printing in German and English. The street appears to be lively with activity, suggesting it is a commercial hub. The photograph bears handwritten markings, such as "3490" and references to the location as being on the west side of a street.

The image appears to be a photographic negative of a street scene featuring a row of commercial buildings. Prominent in the image is a corner building with a large sign that reads "DAVIS BROS DIAMONDS WATCHES JEWELRY AND SILVERWARE." This indicates that the building houses a jewelry store. The store name "THE IMPERIAL" is visible on another sign right above the storefront, and there is a mention of "MEN'S FURNISHINGS," suggesting that this may have been a department or variety store, or several businesses housed within the same building.

Several people are walking along the sidewalk in front of the store, and a horse-drawn carriage can be seen on the street, illustrating the time period before the advent of automobiles. The architecture of the buildings and style of dress suggest that the photograph dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century.

Signs on the upper windows appear to advertise a "PRINTER - GERMAN ENGLISH," indicating that the building might host multiple businesses or offices. The street itself is lined with buildings of similar height and style, indicative of an urban commercial district. The presence of a fire escape on the building adds a characteristic detail of city architecture.

The numbering "3496" in the top right corner, and "683" and "681" presumably refer to the street addresses of the businesses. The handwritten text at the bottom suggests a notation, possibly for archiving or cataloguing purposes.
