Sepia-toned photograph taken of the exterior of the saloon belonging to Charles Abbs at 23 Woodward Avenue, as well as the adjacent building containing another saloon belonging to H.W. Mosier, as taken from the east side of Woodward Avenue, south of Atwater Street. Both are decorated for Cadillaqua. Flags and patriotic banners have been hung on the buildings, and a sign reading, "Welcome Cadillaqua Visitors," has been hung from the awning above Mosier's storefront. Part of the J.T. Wing and Company building is visible on the left side of the frame. Several pedestrians are on the sidewalk in front of the businesses. The streets in the foreground are paved with bricks, and contain streetcar rails. "Celebration cadillaqua week." has been typewritten along the top of the photo, and "Father's place of business," has been handwritten in pencil along the bottom edge.
