The street is littered with building materials, boards, and debris. In the foreground, a pile of plywood blocks the entire street, as men work. Two horse-drawn carts are parked along the street. Pedestrians walk along the street on wood-plank sidewalks. Signs include: "Drug Store," "Hardward Stoves & Tin Ware," "Bookstore," and "Books & Stationery."
