On the ground, two small ladders are propped up against the building and one firefighter stands on the left while another stands further down the street, on the right.

On the ground, a small group of firefighters are gathered by a traffic light in front of the smaller building to the Neiman-Marcus's left. Beyond the two fire engines are another barely visible fire engine and a giant Santa Claus decoration in the middle of the street (the decoration is about 4 stories tall). On the back of the photograph are the remnants of a torn-off label, two faded stamps, and handwritten notes giving information about the fire.

On the back of the photograph are the remnants of a torn-off identification label, a stamp identifying the photographer, and a handwritten note that reads, "Neiman-Marcus Dec 19, 1964."
