Text on front reads: "Street Scene, Rice Lake, Wis." The right side of Main Street, looking North. The street is unpaved, with sidewalks in front of the businesses. There are advertising signs for "Owl Cigar" and "Swift's Pride Soap and Washing Powder" on the side wall of a building on the far left. The storefronts behind the horse and buggy have signs that read: "Frank Youngbajer Smoke Store", N. W. Heintz, Pharmacist", and the storefront on the far right has a sign that reads: "Robarge & Schneider". All of the businesses have awnings and signs indicating the names. There is a horse and buggy in front of one store near a handwritten sign that reads: "Ice Cream Soda".
