This is a photographic image with inverted colors, likely produced as a negative. It features the exterior of a building where a column occupies the center of the composition. The column displays apparent cracks, as noted in the handwritten annotation at the bottom of the image. The column has a decorative capital at the top and appears to be made of sections stacked vertically. Surrounding the column are store windows with glass panels framed by architectural features like moldings and tiled bases. Reflected shapes suggest an urban environment with other buildings faintly visible through the glass.

The handwritten text at the bottom reads:
