Photograph of an exterior view of the Sears Roebuck building being built, ca.1910-1940. A short, lightly-colored fence lines a roadway in the foreground which leads to the "Retail Entrance" of the building on the right. The building stands very large with a tower over its top right corner where a sign reads "Sears, Roebuck and Co". The left side is incomplete with supplies strewn about the ground around it.
