A blurred view of North Broadway Avenue at the intersection with Erie Avenue looking north toward Lake Erie.

The date of the photograph is uncertain, but may be from the 1890s. Power lines are visible in the photograph, as is a sign across the sidewalk at the right of the photograph which reads "GARAGE". Trolley tracks turn from Broadway in both east and west directions.

The view is somewhat blurred for unknown reasons.
