Here is a description of the image:

The image is a black and white, negative photograph of a historic building. The building, "The Hotel Carroll", is the main subject and takes up most of the frame. It's a two-story brick structure with arched windows on the upper level and openings with pillars on the ground level. The name of the hotel is spelled out in individual capital letters across the top. The windows are arched, and the doors are open.

Several vintage cars are parked in front of the hotel. People, some standing by the cars and others inside the hotel. There are signs of "self service" on the side of the building. The image has a historical and somewhat somber feel, enhanced by the negative format and the details of the architectural design and the vintage vehicles. The "President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University Art Museums)" copyright is displayed in the bottom left, and the number "P1970.4294.0001" is in the bottom right corner.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows an inverted black and white photograph of the Hotel Carroll, a two-story brick building with three arched windows on the second floor and three arched doorways on the first floor. The sign above the building reads "THE HOTEL CARROLL." Tall columns stand in front of the entrances on the first floor.

In front of the building are three vintage cars parked on the street. People can be seen standing in the doorways of the hotel.

To the left and right of the hotel, parts of adjacent buildings are visible. The image has some wear and tear, with scratches and imperfections.
