Streetscape of the north side of Main Street, showing the Masonic building, Boston Branch, Ammidown building, Central Baptist Church and some dwellings. Entrance to all of these storefronts is achieved by climbing steps. Electrical poles run parallel to the street. A horse-drawn vehicle with rider, and the front of the street-railroad are visible in the road. A conductor walks beside the trolley car. A woman in full-length clothing, accompanied by a dog, walks in front of the Masonic building. The town clock in the spire of the Central Baptist Church reads ten minutes past twelve noon. Trees are viewable in the distance.
