DescriptionThree men in white coats stand in the interior of a barbershop. The walls are lined with mirrors. Barber chairs are at the left. Benches are on the right. A large free-standing porcelain unit containing four sinks is in the center of the room. A spittoon is on the floor at the right and a shoeshine chair is in the right background. A clock is on the left wall. Electric light fixtures hang from the ceiling, apparently a tin ceiling, with an embossed pattern. Decorations include potted palms. The floor covering appears to be linoleum. A sign on the back wall reads: "Union Shop."
