Description Advertisement showing the four-and-one-half story corner building containing signage for the grocer at the inclined corner of Callowhill and Water Street. Signage, including a flag hanging from an upper window, advertises "Groceries & Provisions" and "Sea Stores Put Up." A male patron enters one of the entrances near a pile of sacks as through the other a clerk helping a patron is visible. Barrels of merchandise, including brooms, are displayed at that entryway. Outside of the business, more barrels are piled on the sidewalk while a laborer runs a rope around another at the open cellar door. On the opposite side of the store, near a raised walkway with wood railings, a clerk consults with a drayman transporting a load of goods.
