This image appears to be a photographic negative of a large, multi-story brick building. The building has a symmetrical design with numerous windows, some featuring arched tops. It likely serves as a residential or institutional structure, possibly an apartment or a dormitory.

In the foreground, there is a dirt or paved road with some parked cars, suggesting the image dates back to the mid-20th century based on the design of the automobiles. A few utility poles and wires are visible, along with some fencing and light posts. The scene has a distinct historic feel, and the negative effect gives it an inverted look where areas normally light appear dark and vice versa.
