Negative is identified on the back of the negative as "Taft-City Hall. Construction ." Negative shows a group of men sitting in chairs on a raised platform. President Taft is sitting in a cushioned chair speaking with another man at the front of the platform. In the backgroup is a group of American flags and Christmas garland strung across a fake wall at the back of the platform. They are apparently at a ceremony during or at the beginning of the construction of Oakland City Hall.
