This black-and-white historical photograph features a large, four-story stone building with a prominent central square tower. The building’s facade is characterized by rows of arched windows, decorative cornices, and visible damage, including missing roof sections and several broken windows. Atop the central tower, a skeletal metal framework of a spherical or globe-like structure is visible against the sky. In the lower-left foreground, a white peaked tent stands on a paved area near a low stone wall. A dark, leafless tree branch enters the frame from the upper-right corner. The ground in front of the building is flat and light-colored, suggesting a paved square or wide street. Small, faint white text in the bottom-right corner of the image reads "Miles Bros." followed by the number "100."
