This horizontal black-and-white photograph shows a large, three-story apartment building situated on a street corner. The building features several prominent bay windows extending from the upper floors and decorative arched elements along the roofline. On the ground level, several storefronts with large glass windows and awnings are visible. A horse-drawn carriage is parked on the street to the left, and a few individuals in early 20th-century clothing stand on the sidewalk near the corner. A utility pole stands on the right side of the building, and the street surface appears to be paved with cobblestones or bricks. The entire photograph is displayed within a white border, and a small color and grayscale calibration strip is positioned at the bottom center of the frame. Above the photo, the text "Polk Apartments. 1702 Polk St." is printed in a simple, white sans-serif font against a dark background.
