The building on the right is "Jacob Effinger's Hotel/ So. Queen & Vine St./ Lancaster Pa." is shown is much less detail, but is also a 2-story brick building with dormered windows. The word "Brick" is penciled onto the front of the hotel and a tilted pole with a sign atop ('Ja..Effinger') stands near the street to the right of the front door.
Brown marks appear in various places on the front, the largest in the leftmost upper story window of the Thaddeus Stevens House. The lower right corner has been creased. There are the remains of a previous backing on the corners of the reverse. (by Scott Sagar, 12/08/2000)
