The approach to W. S. Bowman's photography studio. There is a raised ramp, with "Photographs" painted on it, and the studio is also raised on stilts, since it is built on the edge of a river bank. The wooden building has a false front with "Bowman Photographer" painted at the top, and is surrounded on at least two sides by a narrow porch. On the porch are a chair and a bench. The front door is open and a low chair can be seen within. Between the two front windows and the door hangs a board displaying portrait photographs. On the left a canvas awning hangs over wooden steps , and a lower wooden shed can be seen. Trees and another building can be seen in the background.
