A row of buildings apparently built in the late 1800s, different colors, with ornate trim. Some of the buildings have front porches. At the left end of these buildings is an old red brick firehouse with a tall tower. At the top of the tower is a golden statue of a human figure wearing a hat and blowing a horn. The sky is mostly cloudy.

Dominating the right half of the frame is a building shot from below, looking up. It is beige with dark trim at the top and around the windows, with some ornate gold accents. There is some ornate black ironwork around the windows. To the left is a clock mounted on a pole. It is rectangular, painted dark, with some ornate gold trim at the top. Below the clock is a sign that says, "MADISON BANK AND TRUST COMPANY". Behind the clock is a tree with green leaves. The sky is mostly cloudy, with blue space between the clouds.

Several buildings in the style typical of 1800s Midwest small towns. The are side-by-side, close to a street, and with a sidewalk in front. The buildings have many windows and storefronts on the ground floor. This is an evening shot, and it is getting dark. There is a string of closely spaced lights along the rooftops. There are lights in some of the windows. The building in the middle of the frame appears to be a theater with a well lit marquee in the front. It says "OHIO" in neon lights at the top. The marquee says "Thanks for 25 years of service. LTC Ryan Gilles". There is a lamp post with a glass lamp shade at the top and an American flag mounted near the top. A red pickup truck is apparently parked in front of the theater. There is a tree in the left of the frame. The sky is dark blue with some clouds.

A building with a large mural painted on the side. The mural has the word "KINDNESS' in large white letters at the top. Below that are flower surrounding a red heart. At the bottom are the words "MADISON INDIANA" on a painted floating banner. Below that is some kind of representation of a landscape with a river. In the background of the mural are golden rays radiating out from the center. The photo was taken in the evening in partial darkness, and the mural is well lit. To the left are other buildings in the background and some cars parked on the street. To the right are some brick walls and a tree with green leaves. The sky is dark blue with thin white clouds throughout.
