A halftone view of the Krise Building, a six-story commercial block on a downtown Lynchburg corner, with arched storefronts at street level, rows of sash windows above, a heavy cornice and roof balustrade, and pedestrians and utility wires in the foreground. The Krise Building was one of the taller commercial/office blocks erected in Lynchburg's Main Street business district in the early 20th century, when such steel-framed buildings replaced older three- and four-story brick rows. The card's own caption names it simply as the Krise Building, Lynchburg, Va.
