The foreground includes several antique cars parked along the street, as well as a trolley or streetcar visible on the left side. Buildings are lined along the street with varying architectural styles, featuring windows, fire escapes, and signs.

In the foreground, there are several vehicles parked along the street. One of them appears to be a milk truck, as indicated by the sign on the side of the vehicle.
