Photograph of the office of the H. H. West Co. on Towne Avenue as viewed from across the street. The office is viewed at an angle from the front and stands in the distance at center. Towne Avenue passes across the foreground on a steep upward angle from right to left. Three cars are parked along the curb of the far side of the street, facing left. Beyond the cars, the office of the H. H. West Company occupies the left, ground floor unit of the taller building at right. Its front is constructed of glass windows. The door stands open at the center of the facade. Signage is visible, but not legible in the large windows that flank the door. Another store or office front occupies the ground floor unit to the right of it in the same building. Above them, the building stands at least 3-stories tall and extends out-of-frame along the top edge. A shorter building at left abuts H. H. West's office building. It stands 2-stories tall and extends beyond the left frame. Signage for the business to the left of the office of the H. H. West Co. reads, "JENSEN INSTRUMENT CO."
