Men and a horse stand in front of a row of commercial buildings probably on Main Avenue in Durango (La Plata County), Colorado. One man holds a cane, and leans against a utility pole. The one story buildings have bracketed cornices, pilasters, and dentils. Signs in display windows read: "Prewitt & Prewitt Investments, Real Estate Insurance, City and Farm Loans" "Office of the Porter Coal Co." "The Durango Office of the Boston & Colo. Investment Co. Prewitt Investment Co." "Durango Land and Coal Co." "The La Plata Coal & Coke Co." "Bijou Domestic and Imported Wines and Liquors" and "The Interstate Investment Co. Real Estate, Abstracts, Loans." A wooden sign reads: "Phoenix Insurance Company, Hartford, Conn."
