DescriptionThe rear of a four-story multiple-family dwelling is shown. The top three stories have back porches with wooden railings along their fronts. A rug hangs over the rail on the second floor porch. Clothes hang from a clothesline on the fourth floor porch. Several additional clotheslines extend from the building. Two wooden doors stand open on the ground floor level, possibly leading to a basement. A city street runs along the side of the building. A brick building in the background appears to be another apartment house.
