A small, single-story brick building is adaptively reused into a concession stand under a clear blue sky. The building has a low, brown shingled roof, one rectangular window, and a dark door painted with a bright green leaf graphic to reflect its location in the city of Hickory Hills for placemaking. A paved sidewalk and curb ramp run in front of the entrance, and landscaped plantings with grasses and shrubs line the foreground. One person is walking past the door, slightly blurred by motion. Utility poles, overhead wires, trees with early autumn foliage, and nearby houses appear in the background, placing the building within a quiet neighborhood setting.
