The image is a sepia-toned postcard depicting an urban scene from New York, specifically 25 South Street where the Seamen's Church Institute of New York was located. The prominent feature in the center is a tall building with multiple windows and flags at its top; it appears to be an early 20th-century structure given its architectural style.

The street below is bustling with activity: several horse-drawn carriages, people walking on sidewalks or crossing streets, and various modes of transport including what seems like electric trolleys. To the right in the background stands a suspension bridge with two towers; it's likely the Brooklyn Bridge due to its distinctive architecture at that time.

The sky is overcast without any visible sun rays piercing through, suggesting either an early morning or late afternoon timeframe when such atmospheric conditions are common for urban settings of this era. There's text overlaid on the lower part of the image which reads "Seamen's Church Institute of New York, 25 South Street." This indicates that the photograph captures a significant location in maritime history and serves as an archival record from what appears to be late Victorian or Edwardian times based on the clothing style.

The image depicts a vintage postcard showing an old multi-story building labeled "Seamen's Church Institute of New York" located at 25 South Street. The architecture features Gothic Revival elements with pointed arches, ornate window surrounds, and detailed stonework around the windows on each floor. Atop the structure is a prominent clock tower-like feature with what appears to be weather vanes or finials along its edges. Below this main building are early 20th-century street scenes: pedestrians walking by in period attire, horse-drawn carriages indicative of pre-automobile transportation methods. The photograph has sepia tones and the text on it indicates that it is part of a collection from "New York Public Library" at its time of publication or reproduction. There's also a mention that this particular postcard was printed by the Esterman Lithograph Co., suggesting a historical context for the image, likely early in the 20th century when such institutions were vital to maritime communities and their families.
