Description
The office of a pawn shop is visible beyond a wood pannelled frontage and the dimly lit entrance. The partition wall has large windows and the opening is separated into individual booths by wooden panels. Inside the office space there are many objects including boxes on shelves, a filing cabinet, a desk and a wall clock. There are signs on the wall and one of them reads, 'Open on Tuesdays and Saturdays only', while another declares, 'No more pledges'.
