Abstract

A church with a steeple, weathervane, urn finials, and a colonnaded portico is at the left. A building with awnings, a lunette in the front gable, and drainpipes on the side, is at the right. An iron fence and gate are between the two buildings. Men and women are on the sidewalks. A lamp post is at the left. A horse-drawn vehicle is at the right. The pavement appears to be wet, as if from rain. Leafless trees are in the background.
