Description

Sunset Oil Company tank farm, February 1935. A portion of a vacant lot can be seen in the foreground, covered in wild grass. Eight large cylindrical oil drums can be seen standing a short distance ahead of the vacant lot. At center, the nearest oil drum bears a sign on its side that reads, "Sunset Gas-Sunset Oil Co.". A tall ladder stretches from the ground to the top of this oil drum. Several utility poles can be seen within the Sunset Oil Company storage area, among the oil drums. A cloudy sky can be seen above the oil drums.
