Photograph of three horse-drawn furniture delivery wagons belonging to the Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company and parked in front of its furniture plant at numbers 113-123 West Conway Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The wagons consist of long flat beds headed by a raised driver's seat that features a retractable cover to shade the driver from the elements.

Tracks are embedded in the roadway, and electric lines for streetcars are suspended above the street. (Photograph taken from the Enoch Barker Collection of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.)
