This is a black-and-white photograph of a city street scene, likely from the early to mid-20th century, judging by the architectural style and the appearance of the buildings. The image features a row of brick buildings with fire escapes on the sides, typical of urban residential or commercial areas of that era. The buildings have multiple windows, some with awnings, and the fire escapes have metal railings.

The street is paved, and there are a few people walking on the sidewalk in the foreground. One person appears to be wearing a hat and carrying a bag, while another is walking alongside them. The sidewalk is relatively clean, with a small child visible on the left side of the image, sitting on the curb.

The lower part of the image shows the storefront of a restaurant called "Portland Restaurant." The sign is prominently displayed, and there is a clock above the entrance. The restaurant's door is open, and the interior is partially visible. The entrance has steps leading up to it, and there are metal handrails on either side.

The photograph has a caption handwritten on it, which reads: "Mission where Elsie Sigel met her murderer." This text suggests that the image might be related to a historical or criminal event, though the exact context is not clear from the image alone. The handwritten note adds a somber tone to the otherwise ordinary street scene.
