DescriptionStreet with frame commercial buildings on the left. Automobiles are parked beside the sidewalk. Utility poles and trolley poles and wires line the street. Trolley tracks are in the street and a trolley car is in the background. The building at far left is John Janot's shoe repair shop. Beside it, with a barber pole in front, is the Kimberly Barber Shop. The next building, with an awning, has signs that read: "Kimberly Delicatessen" and "Food Shop." The billboard to its right advertises "The purest kind of milk / [illegible line] / Borden's / Evaporated Milk." Other buildings, probably houses, line the street in the right background.
