Description
Photograph of the Pacific Coast Borax Company at Death Valley Junction, California, ca.1900/1950. A long, dirt road loops around the front of the P.C. Borax Company building. An early covered automobile is parked alongside the front entrance way, which is supported by a colonnade of rectangular columns cut in a flaring decorative pattern at the top. On the other side of the road, a street lamp stands at the corner of a dirt lot, separated from the road by a concrete barrier. A second portion of the Borax Company building stands perpendicular to the main entrance in the right background.
