The first row, all men, is seated; the back 2 rows, both men and women, are standing. The sidewalk and the street in the foreground are littered with paper. The entranceway has a sign with 4 Chinese characters above it. A smaller sign with additional characters and two tasselled banners hangs above the larger sign. The building front is also decorated with a United States flag and a Chinese Nationalist flag and a banner composed of the two flags. The photograph is mounted on a piece of pressboard. Chinese characters in black ink are written on the board; these characters frame the left, right and upper sides of the photograph.
