Description

Photograph of exterior of unidentified factory, ca.1925. At center, several automobiles can be seen parked near a low rectangular structure. The rectangular building is composed of distinct parts. Two sections of the building shows large open entryways that offer a small glimpse of the interior. The roofs of the building appear bulged and curved. To the left and right of the building, several utility poles are visible. In the background to the left, a large factory can be seen. Four large cylindrical structures stand adjacent to a tall rectangular tower. A smaller rectangular structure sits near the base of the factory. A small object with a funnel attached to a pipe is seen on the side of the tower. A similar device is seen on the roof of the structure to the right. In the immediate foreground, a grassy field is shown.
