The image shows two storefronts with similar features. The buildings have rectangular facades with horizontal wooden siding painted in a light color. Metal awnings extend outward from the roofs, casting shadows on the entrances, which have glass display windows and wooden doors. On the pavement in front of the buildings, several metal milk cans are arranged in a line. The photograph is in black and white, emphasizing contrast between the bright facades and darker shadowed areas.
