Dr. William H. Leak (at left) Supervisor of oral hygiene and dental work for the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross with Dr. Tamejiro Kawakami (center), special representative from Japan to study oral hygiene in the United States and a third unidentified man in front of the entrance to the American Red Cross' Greenwich House Child Health Station in New York City.

The scene depicts the exterior entrance of a brick building with a sign above the doorway reading “Greenwich House.” A second sign hanging nearby identifies the location as “American Red Cross, New York County Chapter, Child Health Station No. 2, in cooperation with Greenwich House Health Information.” Three individuals stand on the sidewalk in front of the entrance, wearing long coats and hats and holding small items in their hands. Architectural details such as columns, large windows, and a wide door frame are visible on the building.
