Direction of this view is not apparent. The men are standing in rubble of what would have been the interior of a building. This building, built in 1899, burned down in 1909 and was replaced by a fireproof building that still stands on the site. The bakery buildings encompassed the block along the south side of Eighth Street between Grand and Clinton Streets.
