This is an old black and white photograph taken in what appears to be a downtown area, judging by the multi-story brick buildings and businesses. The main focus is a three-story brick building housing several businesses. The top floor has four windows, the middle has two, and the bottom has four. The building has a decorative cornice and a flat roof.

Below the upper stories are shops or businesses. The sign for "Postal Telegraph" is clearly visible along with a sign for "Cablegrams." Further down the street, there is a shop with a sign for "Ladies & Gent's Shines". A third storefront is seen on the right, with a sign that says "W. Austin." The photographer appears to be standing across the street. Electric wires crisscross the sky.

The image shows an inverted black and white photograph of a building with several storefronts on the ground floor. The main sign above the storefronts reads "POSTAL TELEGRAPH". The building has three floors with multiple windows on each floor. There are electrical wires running across the top of the building.

To the right of "POSTAL TELEGRAPH" is a store with an awning that reads "LUMBIN" vertically. The storefront next to that reads "981 LADI-GENE SHINES". Further to the right is a store labeled "W.AUSTIN". The street in front of the stores is visible.

The photograph has been inverted, causing the typical bright areas to appear dark and vice versa.
