Front: black and white image of a road and building. At the top of the image is a partly cloudy sky. On the left and right side of the image from the top to the road, there is a tree with leaves. In front the left tree, there is a black lamp post and in front of the right tree, there is a sign for the restaurant with its name on two poles. Between the trees is a large two-storey bricked building. The building has many windows with white frames. In the centre of the building, there is a door with a white overhang and three windows above. To the right of the centre, there is another door with a smaller overhang. To the right of the building, closer to the edge of the page, there is a car beside a wooden fence and another building can be seen behind the fence. To the left of the building, closer to the edge of the page, behind the lamppost is a car and behind the car is a gazebo like structure. In front of the main building, there is a horseshoe driveway and a front yard. On either side of the driveway entrances there are plants and on the right of the driveway there is a stone pillar. In front of the plants there is a sidewalk and a curb. The bottom of the page shows a road with two sets of streetcar tracks. The image is surrounded by a white border all of the way around. Within the border, there is text at the top and bottom.  

Back: There is a rectangle at the upper right corner with text within. In the middle of the upper edge, there is horizontal English and French text with some lines. The name of the maker goes vertical down the centre of the page, dividing the back into two. At the bottom of the vertical text, there is the company’s logo.

Front: The front image is captioned “Dutch Sisters Inn, Smorgasbord Lobby” and features a full color image. The image depicts an interior room with multiple surfaces offering food in a buffet style. In the front left, a small table holds several types of bread and a large bowl of what appears to be salad. Also on the left, towards the midground of the image is a similar table that holds a white, multi-tiered object that may be a Smörgåstårta (Swedish Sandwich Cake.) A longer counter on the right side of the image holds an assortment of meats and other unidentifiable food items. Towards the back is a counter that appears to hold a cash register, and through a doorway a dining room with several chairs can be seen. The floor is finished in muted red and black tiles, and much of the furniture and fixtures are made of light brown wood. The counter holding the meat is decorated with wallpaper featuring windmills.
