A black and white photograph of two children playing in the street by Arthur Leipzig. There are two unidentified boys playing a game of spinning top. Both boys are standing next to the sidewalk and holding string. The boy closer to the camera is turned toward the lens and has one foot on the curb. He is wearing shorts, suspenders, and a short sleeved button down shirt. The other boy is crouched down with his elbows resting on his knees watching the spinning top. He has rolled up pants and a striped shirt. Down the sidewalk behind the boys is a vertical building sign for [HENNINGTON HALL]. There is an unidentified woman walking by in the street and other individuals on the sidewalk. Buildings and cars are visible on both sides of the street. There are handwritten numerical inscriptions and the photographer's stamp on the reverse.
