Description
Photograph of three men standing in front of the National Electric Company Building, ca.1895. The three men are at center and are wearing dark suits and bowler hats. All are looking at the viewer. The building behind them has two large display windows flanking an open doorway at center. A sign overhead bears the name of the building, but the painted-over remains of previous signs are visible as well. Two large wooden barrels are at left.
