The photograph depicts an interior lobby in the Civic Auditorium. Multiple circular and half-circle seating options are scatted throughout the long hallway. There are multiple double glass-paned doorways on the right, and trophy-like sculptures atop the wall seating. This image is attributed to the Camera Shop as the number sequencing matches identified images that have the Camera Shop stamp on the back.

The Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Grand Rapids Public Library have photographs from the Camera Shop in their collections.
