Description:
Photograph of street signs posted outside a building at the corner of Dauphine and St. Louis Streets in New Orleans' French Quarter. Dauphine Street passes across the foreground along the bottom edge. Beyond it, a building stands on its opposite side, off-center to the right. Equidistant, narrow poles support the building's second-floor gallery which provides a canopy over the sidewalk. A parapet of decorative ironwork is just visible lining the balcony at the top of the image. On the sidewalk below, street signs are affixed to lampposts and the building's supporting poles at center. From left to right, the signs read, "[within a left-pointing arrow] ONE WAY STREET DEP'T. PUBLIC SAFETY," "BUS STOP," and "ST. LOUIS DAUPHINE ST." In the shop window at right, a sign reads, "QUA[L]ITY GRO[C]ERY."

Cars parked bumper-to-bumper line the right curb of St. Louis Street. Two- and three-story buildings stand side-by-side, lining St. Louis Street as it stretches into the distance.
