The Rowley & Fisher Real Estate office located at 619 Broadway Avenue, Lorain, Ohio.

This business, per an advertisement in the Lorain Journal published on November 6, 1923, was founded by V.A. (likely Virgil A) Rowley and A.E. Fisher. The date of the photograph is likely from 1923 or 1924, as there is no record of the business in the Lorain City Directory prior to 1923.

The photograph is mounted on manila paper. The words printed under the photograph are as follows:
ROWLEY & FISHER REAL ESTATE 619 BDWY BEFORE THE TORNADO.
The "tornado" mentioned in this caption is most likely a reference to the June 28, 1924 tornado which devastated downtown Lorain.
