Telephone wires travel through the air in front of the building as wooden scaffolding shields the street below. Two signs hang from the scaffolding. The left sign reads "Bowen, Dungan & Co. have resumed business 728 Arch St." The right sign reads "Doyle & Doak Contractors and Builders [..] 609 Sansom St." A sign in the first floor window behind the scaffolding reads "Uncle Tom's Cabin Co." The building was damaged by a fire in 1900.
