Symbolism
A large multi-story building with aligned windows, shutters, a roof of chimneys and arched doorways fills a city street. On the pavement a horse-drawn carriage waits and a few people go by, among them a woman in a red dress at a doorway. It is a portrait of urban dwelling: structure, address and life in a community.
