Title	First 5000 barrel unit of the Western Oil and Refining Company, at Wilmington, ca.1930
Description	Photograph of the first 5000 barrel unit of the Western Oil and Refining Company, at Wilmington, ca.1930. Left of center, several cylindrical tank-like structures stand atop a metal platform. Two flights of stairs lead from the dusty ground up to the tank-like units, which are interconnected by a series of pipes, some of which stretch right to connect to several large tanks lying on the ground behind a brick wall. Between the standing tanks and those that lie horizontal on the ground is a tall cylindrical brick structure, possibly a smoke stack. At left stands a gated house-like structure, behind which, another cylindrical tank built into the ground. In the distance lie several houses with chimneys, and a few more stacks and tanks. A large dark-colored structure looms right of center, beside several smaller structures. The rightmost distance is lined with trees behind a wire fence.
