Streetview of trolley track construction on Newstead Avenue in front of the Ideal Building. Horse-drawn carriages stand on the cobblestone street while the foreground is dug up for the laying of new streetcar rails. Workers discuss the project beside a large stack of cobblestones. Businesses represented include a wagon for the D. B. Rolstin ice company, a painted advertisement for Hyde Park Bottled Beer, and the storefronts of the Forage & Supply Co. and the Home Laundry Co.
