In front of the store, a gentleman departs from the entrance and a couple greets a gentleman across from another man leaning on a column of the building. A couple strolls past, and a group of men convene near crates on the sidewalk, in front of neighboring buildings on the block. In the street, a driver stands with his loaded horse-drawn dray. Image surrounded by an ornate border, including filigree; cherubic and female allegorical figures representing the mechanical arts, industry, and virtues; and medallions printed with the names of the contractors who worked on the structure.
