In the center of the group, a woman wears a habit and appears to be a Catholic nun. The sign on the next-door business, in partial view, reads "barber beaut[...]." A pair of cars are parked in front of the building. Based on a sign's reflection on the washateria windows, "Vaught's Store" is across the street from the pictured building.
