Photograph looking from the south towards the east side of the town square in Red Oak, Iowa. A street spans the width of the bottom edge and angles back towards the left. Cars are parked, side-by-side, on an angle along the right side of the street; all face away from the camera. Beyond them, buildings line the right side of the street, extending on an angle back towards the left. They are all viewed at an angle from the front and face left. From nearest to furthest, signage identifying the stores and businesses read: "SPURGEON'S," "BEARDSLEY & WOLFE DRUGS SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINTS DRUGS," "GREEN PARROT," "MILLEDGE HARDWARE," and "Roxall DRUGS." Painted on the side of the "Spurgeon's" building, it reads, "GENERAL INSURANCE OF AMERIC[A] TOWN MUT[...] DWELLING INSURANCE CO. [???] GORE."
