Description
Sepia-toned image of the front of a building. About a dozen men and one boy in overalls stand on the boardwalk or planked road in front of the two-story building. Several store fronts with recessed doors and squared framed windows take up the first floor beneath a recessed awning, while the second floor features square bay windows. An upper pediment on the roof reads 'Woods [and] Caples, 1893.'

Signs indicate a doctor's office and a dentists' office are on the second floor, while a blank slate on the far side of the building reads 'Washington County Mills' on the top.
