Description
Photograph of a building under construction, September 15, 1937. What appears to be the steel frame of a large building extends from the foreground to the background. The steel beams extend out of the foundation and criss-cross to form the beginnings of a building. Construction parts lay inside the building while planks of steel lay in front to the right. A house is visible to the left in the background.
