Artist, American, 1878 - 1954

The image depicts a street-level view of a large building complex with architectural details, trees on either side, people in the middle, and a man sweeping a street in the foreground. The buildings' intricate etchings define windows and architecture. The scene has a textured surface with a sepia-toned, antiquated feel. The tone is muted and monochromatic with shades of brown and cream.
