Description

Photograph of exterior view of Standard Oil Refinery, El Segundo, 1928. The short, lightly-colored cylinders with wide diameters are separated by thick pipes which run on the yard between them. Long, rectangular panels line the circumference of each tank while small, dark numbers label them. Electrical poles stand in a tow down the center of the yard of tanks while rows of tall, thick pipes secrete smoke from the buildings that stand along the left side of the refinery. These buildings continue into the cloud of smoke in the background while a trimmed, grass yard with various trees a short row of bushes lies in the foreground.
