Description

Photograph of a windsock hanging from the right of the end of a metal tower on an unidentified airport, ca.1927. Beneath the tower sits what appears to be a water tank, in front of which is a light-colored structure with a single door. A metal ladder is built into the tower and extends to the top, where a box-like structure surrounds what could be a large lamp. In the background lies a flat piece of land behind a wire fence.
