This image appears to be a negative photograph, depicting an old-fashioned street or indoor space with some businesses and vintage automobiles. The scene includes a staircase in the center, leading to a second level. Adjacent to the staircase are signs for storefronts with advertisements, including notices for “Capitol Loan Co. – Money to Loan” and “Clothing, Low Prices.” Other signs include “Pickwick Ale” and “Wulz’s Jewelry.”

The vintage cars, likely from the early 20th century, are parked near the storefronts.
