The label on the photo says: "1905-Ambridge Arena-Palm Garden Rainbow Garden, Nash Garage."
I do not know who the photographer was or who labeled the photo. I also don't know exactly when the photo was taken or what business was in the building then, as I can't read the painted sign on the building.

For at least 75 years, the Ambridge Arena building stood at 287 Fourth Street. The alley to its right ran between it and the back of the building at 401 Merchant street that was once the Nicholas Grill and later The Red Bull Inn. The Arena has been razed and is currently an empty lot.
