DescriptionA sign on a dilapidated and possibly derelict building reads "THE / KOSEY / KORNER - SANDWICHES / LIGHT LUNCH / SOFT DRINKS - FREE / ROAD / INFORMATION / MAPS." A sign on a tree advertises a soft drink, possibly Coca Cola. Gas pumps, a hanging circular sign, and electric lights are at the right near a leafless tree that appears to be an elm. Small buildings in the background appear to be tourist cabins. Snow is on the ground.
