This postcard depicts Pike Street in Port Jervis, N.Y. showing a straight street extending into the distance, lined on both sides with multi-story buildings. These appear to be commercial buildings with storefronts at street level and residential or office spaces above. Awnings extend over some of the sidewalks in front of the shops.

A trolley car or streetcar is visible in the middle of the street, moving towards the viewer. This indicates that public transportation was available on Pike Street during the time.Several figures of people are present on the sidewalks, going about their business. There are also utility poles and wires running along the street, common features of urban landscapes in the early 20th century.
