Description
Photograph of the Long Beach Steam Plant, ca.1930. A lightly colored building that appears to be made out of stone sits in the center with two sides visible. There is a large open entrance to the building on the right while rectangular windows cover the front side and arched windows line the right. Smokestacks sit on the left side of the roof while a second building is visible behind the first. Men can be seen walking about the land while small edifices surround the plant.
