The image depicts a scene of construction or demolition in an urban area. The photo is from an elevated perspective, looking down at a building site at the corner of two streets. In the foreground, there is debris, likely from a demolished structure, scattered across the ground. A team of horses pulls a cart filled with material.

Wooden fences partially surround the site, with some sections damaged or missing. A larger construction fence, supported by wooden braces, runs along the edge of the street, suggesting the area is closed off for safety.

Across the street, there are multi-story buildings with storefronts. Signs on the buildings indicate businesses such as a hardware store ("GREEN'S HARDWARE CORNER"), a paint and oil supply shop ("PAINTS AND OIL, BRUSHES") and a clothing store "SHIMMERMAN'S".

The photograph is in a negative format, which reverses the colors, giving it a distinct appearance. The composition and style of the image suggest it is an older photograph, likely taken in the late 19th or early 20th century.

This is a negative image, depicting a scene of destruction and construction in what appears to be a city street.

Key Features and Observations:

• Buildings: There are several buildings visible. In the background, there are shops and commercial buildings with signs, including "PAINTS AND OIL," and "GREEN'S HARDWARE CORNER." A building at the right has shuttered windows.
• Destruction: The foreground shows a demolished area, possibly a building that has collapsed or been torn down. Debris, including wood and other materials, is scattered around the ground.
• Construction/Preparation: The surrounding area seems to be fenced off, and there is some construction work in progress with wooden support structures. The fence suggests an attempt to secure the work zone.
• Transportation: A horse-drawn carriage is in the foreground and to the right of the demolition.
• Perspective: The image appears to be taken from an elevated perspective, likely a nearby building.
• Text: The text indicates that the scene is on "Cor.way and Washington St" (likely, "Corner" and "Washington St" respectively).

Possible Interpretation:

The scene suggests that a construction project is taking place. The destruction of the building implies either demolition or the aftermath of a catastrophic event (fire, explosion, collapse). The horse-drawn carriage suggests the image may have been taken in the early 20th century or earlier.
