Two men stand, pressing partially finished clothing, at a table on sawhorses in the foreground, while a man and 3 women sit at tables and sewing machines in the back of a workroom in Fred Doerrmann’s tailor shop. Both sewing machines appear to be treadle-operated and the one on the right is marked "Singer" on the treadle frame. The irons and lamps are all hooked up to electrical cords that hang from the ceiling. The number “74” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.
