This image appears to be a historical black and white photographic negative of buildings located on Summer Street. Two main structures dominate the scene: one on the left, a rounded-corner, multi-story building with numerous rectangular windows, and one on the right, a grand building exhibiting ornate architectural features such as arched windows and decorative moldings.

There appears to be signage visible along the storefronts, with some notable text reading names such as "Bouve-Sterling Shoe Co." and "Artistic Monuments." A vintage automobile is parked on the street in front of these buildings, marking the scene as being from an early 20th-century urban setting. The negative image also includes inscriptions at the bottom reading “#1300, #92–#110 Summer St.” and “May 5, 1912,” identifying the location and date portrayed.

The image is a black-and-white negative of a street scene, likely from the early 20th century. It depicts two prominent buildings located at 92 to 110 Summer Street. The building on the left has a rounded corner and multiple stories with a mansard roof, characteristic of the Second Empire style. The windows are tall and evenly spaced across the facade.

The building on the right is ornate, with a row of arched windows across each floor and decorative elements along the facade, suggestive of an Italianate architectural style. Signage on the building identifies businesses housed there, including references to "Artistic Monuments," "Leavitt & Co.," and the "Bouve-Sterling Shoe Co." An automobile, recognizable as an early model from that era, is parked in front of the left building.

In the bottom right corner of the image, there are handwritten notes that provide further context: one note indicates the address ("#1300. #92-#110 Summer St."), while another notes the date "May 5, 1912," suggesting the image was captured on that date. The overall image presents a historical view of urban architecture and commerce in the early 1900s.
