This black and white photograph depicts an abandoned room that appears to be in a state of disrepair. On the left side, there is a metal filing cabinet with several drawers ajar. In the center of the photograph, there is a wooden desk with a woven cane back chair facing it. A small stack of papers or folders can be seen atop the desk. An old fan with protective wire grill stands directly behind the chair. The walls and ceiling of the room are peeling, revealing multiple layers of paint and some structural damage, emphasizing the neglect and decay of the space. Large wooden framed glass doors stand open in the background, suggesting that the room might be part of a larger complex or building.

There is handwriting at the bottom of the photograph, which appears to include a title, "Theater of Memory - Ellis Island 1980/83," followed by a signature indicating the photographer's name. The room and furnishings suggest an institutional setting, possibly from an earlier mid-20th century period, and the title references Ellis Island, which is known for its historical role as a gateway for immigrants coming to the United States. The term "Theater of Memory" could suggest that this place once held significant memories or experiences for individuals who passed through Ellis Island.
