The image is a black and white photograph of a street in Washington, DC. The street is lined with buildings on both sides, with shops and businesses on the left and right sides. The buildings appear to be old and dilapidated, with boarded up windows and boarded up doors. There are power lines running along the street, and a few people can be seen walking on the sidewalk. In the center of the image, there is a train track running parallel to the street. The sky is cloudy, and there are trees in the background. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
