The rectangular shapes in the grid have been left empty or filled by a window or solid block. At the right end of the building is an open-air space recessed into the structure, forming the building's entrance and containing its front doors. 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. A patch of dirt dotted with small clumps of grass and pieces of rubble extends across the front of the building, a sidewalk running through its center. 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.
