View across State Street towards three buildings. On the far right, with the year 1898 in relief at the top, is the Henry Pecher Building. Next to it is the Romanesque revival-style Michael Davy Building, with its second story arched windows filled in with bricks. The ground floor of both buildings contains Beecher's Stereoland, and a handwritten sign in the window above a parked car reads: "Closed for Inventory." The building on the far left is the Borenstein Building, and on the ground floor is Badger Sporting Goods. The second floor is The Peacock, a clothing store. Cars are parked along the street, and a car is driving by Badger Sporting Goods.
