View down unpaved Main Street. There is a T-intersection on the right. On the left are a row of storefronts with a dog and pedestrians on the sidewalk. Businesses include a paint or hardware store. Most of the storefronts have awnings which are all pulled back. Horse-drawn carriages and carts are in the street in the background.
