Piles of wood and other objects fill the area in front of the doors. To the right of the building are signs, one of which says "3631 Cedar Springs" while another has the word "architect" on it.

Leafless trees grow in the dirt between the sidewalk and the building while poles holding up electrical lines sit between the sidewalk and a line of parked cars. The vehicles all sit parallel to the building and face towards the left edge of the photo.
