![The image depicts a bustling main street in what appears to be a newly established town undergoing development. The road is filled with various types of vehicles, including cars and buses, indicating active transportation during this period.
Prominent signage on the left reads "Roosevelt Hotel" at its peak height as one would have seen it pre-World War II - not yet flattened by subsequent events or developments that may suggest modernization. The adjacent building displays a Coca-Cola advertisement with classic logo design, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere of this black and white photograph.
On the right side of the street are other businesses such as "Hotel M[...] Hotel" and "Crawford's Grille," along with an information stand labeled "Tourism Information - Soil & Water Conservation." These establishments suggest a focus on hospitality and tourism, catering to both residents and visitors during this time period.
The backdrop features rugged terrain with hills or mountains visible in the distance under a partly cloudy sky. The overall scene captures a moment of economic growth and community development within what seems like an early-to-mid-20th-century American town setting.](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/163/522/516/240/993/original/119d4ecc67550a11.jpeg "The image depicts a bustling main street in what appears to be a newly established town undergoing development.

Unemployed men on Howard Street. San Francisco, California
#HowardStreet #SanFrancisco #California #DorotheaLange’s #American #America #Lange #theGreatDepression #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange
![The image is a black and white photograph depicting four men standing in front of what appears to be an entrance, possibly a business or establishment. The setting suggests it could be from the early 20th century given their attire - coats, hats, and suits indicative of that era's fashion.
Two of the men are engaged with something one is holding between them; perhaps examining papers or tickets together. They seem to be in conversation as they lean slightly towards each other, indicating a shared focus on what they're looking at.
The two other figures stand by passively - not interacting but observing their surroundings or possibly waiting for someone's arrival. Their postures suggest anticipation or patience rather than active engagement with the environment around them.
In terms of location and context, this photo seems to be part of Dorothea Lange’s work on unemployment during a period when such issues were prevalent in American society—likely reflecting conditions seen widely across urban America at that time due to economic hardship. The mention 'Unemployed men on Howard Street.' suggests these individuals are among those affected by the economic downturn.
The photograph's framing is tight, focusing heavily on the subjects and their immediate environment with no other significant background elements visible beyond what they're standing in front of—a sign which reads "Pearly" suggesting a business name.

![The image captures a candid moment on an urban street where several men are gathered outside various establishments. The architecture suggests it might be in San Francisco, California during the early to mid-20th century.
In the foreground, three individuals stand together: one wearing a fur-lined coat and hat appears deep in thought or possibly asleep, another with a distinctive white cap looking outwards, while the third seems engaged in conversation. The men are dressed in attire typical of that era, including hats, coats, and suits, indicating modest to middle-class status.
Behind them, other individuals continue their day; some stand alone gazing into storefronts or windows, others walk by purposefully. On the right side, a man with a cane is visible, suggesting he might be elderly or have mobility issues. He walks away from the camera towards another direction on Howard Street.
The buildings display signs for businesses such as "MURRAY & READY" and establishments like "POOL ROOM," indicating leisurely activities available to locals at that time. The facade of one building has a signboard with partial visibility, stating it's an arcade or game room.
Notably, there is text on the image itself which reads "1935 E 20th Ave San Francisco Calif."

Employment agency on Howard Street. San Francisco, California
#HowardStreet #SanFrancisco #California #DorotheaLange #theGreatDepression #American #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange
![The photograph captures a moment outside an employment agency located on Howard Street in San Francisco, California. It's black and white, reflecting the historical context of when Dorothea Lange took this picture; likely during or shortly after the Great Depression.
In front of the building stands a group of men dressed in suits with hats—a style that suggests early to mid-20th century fashion—and some are smoking cigarettes. Their posture varies from upright and attentive, as if they're awaiting their turn for an interview, to casual—leaning against walls or on each other's shoulders.
The sign above the entrance reads "International Employment Agency," indicating it deals with both local job seekers and perhaps those seeking employment in international locations during that time period. The surrounding area appears busy but not crowded; a few more individuals are visible walking by or standing near the building, suggesting this location is part of an active urban setting.
The architecture itself isn't heavily detailed within the frame, save for some decorative elements on what seems like overhangs above the doorway and windows. A price list and other notices are posted outside as well—perhaps advertisements or information about services offered by the employment agency.

![A black-and-white photo of a building's entrance, labeled "City Hall Elma." The photograph is monochromatic and appears to be from an older period given its style. It shows the front view with two glass-paneled doors centered between large white walls. Above the doors are words reading 'CITY HALL ELMA.' There seems to be a small ledge or step in front of the entrance, suggesting it may have been designed for wheelchair accessibility at some point but now lacks such features as ramps.
The building's facade is plain with little ornamentation except for two vertical lines on either side of the doors. The sky above is overcast, indicating cloudy weather conditions during the time when this photo was taken. There are no visible people or other objects in front of the entrance which places a strong focus on the building itself.
The image also contains handwritten and printed text at its edges suggesting it may be part of a collection labeled 'D-P504S' with additional notes like "MAY 23,1967" beneath. This indicates that this photo was cataloged or tagged by someone who took an interest in historical records.
The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange as per the watermark at its bottom right corner, which also includes a website link for more information: https://images.loener.nl/DorotheaLange/full/6495/6495b7f4ba25398d90c4f8e9.jpg.
