Description

Photograph of an exterior view of the Pacific Light and Power Corporation, Redondo Beach, ca.1907. Railroad tracks (?) lie across the foreground with planks of wood scattered behind them. Piles of dirt and supplies sit in front of the large factory. The building on the left is under construction with the roof and right wall reduced to their frames. Behind it three large pipes secrete dark smoke. A much larger building stands on the right with arched windows and the label "Pacific Light and Power Corporation".
