DescriptionSnow is falling as several people walk on the sidewalks of a snow covered street at dusk or night time. A man walking in the foreground wears a hat and is huddled in a coat. Colored Christmas light strings hang from the street lights along both sides of the street. The buildings on the left have illuminated hanging vertical signs. In the background, the multi-story building with lit windows is the G. Fox and Co. department store building at 960 Main Street, Hartford.
