Sign on old bank building which now houses office of Bureau of Reclamation. Nyssa, Malheur County, Oregon

The image depicts a large, worn-out billboard affixed to the side of an old brick building. The sign is for Owyhee Irrigation District and includes various names alongside their businesses or services offered such as insurance, hardware store, bakery, barber shop, among others listed on it in black text against a white background with some parts faded due to weathering.

On one corner, the name "Dorothea Lange" appears twice near an arrow pointing downwards. The bottom left of the image shows a sidewalk and patches of grass growing beside it, indicating that this location is not urbanized or well-maintained. There's also visible wear on the building itself with missing bricks above where the sign is mounted.

The photo is in black and white, suggesting either an old photograph or artistic choice to mimic vintage aesthetics. The image has a high level of contrast between light and shadow which accentuates textures like cracks on the wall and leaves scattered around it.

Additional information about this specific location can be found by following the cited source link provided with "Dorothea Lange" likely referring to her photographic works, particularly those documenting rural America in the early 20th century.
