Panoramic view showing three sections of the Whitford block, Main Street, Southbridge. This four story building is shown with its circular shaped facade. A distinctive cornice separates the third and fourth floors. The building is adorned with a mansard roof and four chimney stacks are visible on the roof line. Some flat belt signs are attached to the facade such as: Shepard & Co.; Cloaks and Millinery; and Whitford and Stowe over the entrance to the dwelling area. Electric wires are evident in the right corner of the image. Two women are chatting together and a man is leaning against an electric pole. There are six shop fronts with an ingress leading to the domestic dwellings overhead. Around the shop fronts there are retractable awnings.
