A striped awning protects the merchandise in the store window from the sun. A metal sign advertising a pharmacy hangs perpendicularly from the brick building. Further along the block, another sign in the form of a large scissors hangs from the building. The YMCA, a brick building with a majestic tower, located on the corner of Elm Street, is shown in the background. Groups of people and horse-drawn vehicles are clustered on each side of Main Street.
