Four men, dressed in streetcar conductors' uniforms of suit, white shirt, tie and brimmed cap, are visible. Two men are playing pool at one of three pool tables, and two other men are seated at a nearby table. One other man, not in uniform, may be seen standing behind a small counter window at the rear of the room. Also visible are metal storage lockers, steam radiators and a gumball machine which is mounted on a wooden support post in the center of the room. The number "127" has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number is written in the upper left corner.
