Description
Photograph of housing construction, ca.1950. The frame of a house sits atop a small hill in the center of the image. The skeleton of the house is complete with a roof and paneling on one portion to the right. A man stands to the left next to a doorway while men are visible inside the house to the right of center. In the foreground, stacks of building supplies can be seen while scraps of what appears to be wood lay all over the slanted land in front of the house.
