Drawing of Henry Street. The left side of the drawing shows many businesses with their store signs. In order of left to right, the signs read "308 Club", "Community Barber Shop", Pool Hall", "Day and Night Taxi", "Brooks Phar-", "Nicks". People are walking on the sidewalk and there are cars on the road. In the background on the left side is the Norfolk and Western general office building (today the Higher Education Center). There is a church on the left side as well, possibly High Street Baptist Church. On the right side the Henry Street Bridge can be seen, as well as two business signs. The signs read "Horse Shoe Cafe, On, Off, ABC", and "Palace Hotel". A third sign is partially visible, reading "Du- Hote", likely the Dumas Hotel. Signed by artist and dated 1994.

Story in Gainsboro Road and Beyond, p. 27. "12" is written on the top right corner on the back. Displayed at the Taubman Museum of Art Exhibit 2023-2024.
