Description

Photograph of construction work on a hillside, ca.1930. To the left of center sit four stacks of bricks that appear to be old chimneys. The top of the brick stacks are broken and seem to be falling apart. Slabs of cement that could be foundations for buildings sit to the left with construction refuse strewn about. To the right, a small building sits on the bottom while two people wearing sombreros walk past holding large sacks. The hill slants up on the left and right while two small mountains covered in bushes and short grass are visible in the background.
