To the left of this building, there is a four-story building with signs reading "Merchants Mutual Marine (?)ran(?)" and "Merchants Mutual / Insurance Co(?) / Flint Pea(?)." There is also a streetlight near the right rear corner of the first building. Behind the first building, there is a three-story building, also with arched windows. Printed in black on the front of the card is "San Francisco. / Thomas Houseworth & Co., / San Francisco / 210. Bank of California - N.W. corner California and / Sansome Sts."
