Description

Photograph of panoramic exterior view of the Pacific Gypsum Tile Company, May 1928. At center, the exterior of the main building for Pacific Gypsum Tile Company can be seen. The building is segmented into two distinct parts which lie directly perpendicular with one another. A large sign containing the name of the company can be seen perched on the pitched rooftop. Looking through the windows, pallets of tiles can be seen lining the interior of the building. A large number of pallets also litter the perimeter of the building. In the extreme foreground, a wide road framed by several utility poles can be seen. In the background, another rectangular building can be seen adjacent to a winding railroad track. Also, a wall of trees extending from the left to the right obscure a group of buildings from view. In the extreme background, rolling hills dotted with a few buildings and utility poles can be seen.
