Black and white print negative and lower quality positive copy depicting the corner of Larned Street and Shelby Street. The Peninsular Engraving Company, Detroit Tribune, the Evening News, a restaurant, and C.B. Mueller, Locksmith and Machinist are among the pictured businesses. The Restaurant has a protruding corner sign which reads "Eat" suspended above a painted sign reading, "Eat what you want but this is a good place." Other signs on the restaurant advertise oysters, cigars, and tobacco. A baseball scoreboard is also posted on its exterior. Many bicycles are parked outside of the buildings. A partially legible sandwich board on the sidewalk outside of the News and Tribune includes the phrase, "Treated like dogs." A moonlight tower rises along the right edge of the frame. Beyond it, the clock tower of the Post Office at Fort Street and Shelby Street is visible. "Larned (cor. Shelby), Det. Tribune with Evening News - 60 W. Larned (City Dir. 1900)" handwritten on verso.
