A horse-drawn wagon, pedestrians, and dogs are in the streets. Several storefronts have been given legible signs: "F. and C.H. Buhl," " McCormick and Moon, Hats and Caps," St. Paul's Episcopal Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Ste. Anne's Catholic Church are all visible in the background. Printed in lower left corner: "Copyright 1883 by Silas Farmer", printed in lower right corner an illegible signature, presumably that of the artist William A. Raymond.
