About this work

This photo shows a quiet street leading to a large, glass-roofed building with a tall, arched entrance. The building has a mix of brick and stone walls, with a fence running along the front. In the distance, you can see other buildings and a dome-shaped tower, all under a pale, hazy sky. The glass roof of the building suggests it might be a train station, which was a new and exciting type of architecture at the time. The photo looks old and slightly faded, giving it a historical feel. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this photo in person.
