This black and white photograph represents a cropped view of a building, which fills the entire picture. Part of its first story is visible at the bottom of the photograph, the top half of the door surrounds for the building’s entrances. Some of the first floor windows and doors are covered with signs, including two reading “LOEW’S ORPHEUM” across the top. There are three additional stories, all with boarded up windows. At the top of the image is the building’s dentil cornice.
