Description

This horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a large, three-story apartment building situated on a street corner. The building features multiple bay windows on the upper floors and several storefronts at the street level, one of which has a prominent white awning. A few vintage automobiles are parked along the curb on the left side of the building, while a horse-drawn carriage sits on the street to the right. Several utility lines crisscross the sky above the structure. The photograph is presented within a white border, which is itself centered on a black background. Above the photo, the text "The Stanford Apartments. 1590 California St." is printed in a simple white sans-serif font. At the very bottom center, a small rectangular color and grayscale calibration strip is visible.
