View looking past Franklin Square showing the boy's school, later the Classical Institute, founded in 1837 by John W. Faires at 47 N. 8th Street. An iron-wrought fence separates the square from the row of buildings, including the school, in the background. In the foreground, children play and families stroll within the square. Two boys play with hoops and a couple admires the fountain.
