Description
Photograph of drawing of the Sparkletts Bottled Water Corporation, ca.1930. At center, a large rectangular building is seen extending to the right into the distant background. The building is composed of several rectangular columns. Thin, rounded windows with arched curves decorate the sides of the column seen at the corner of the building. Additionally, the corner column contains a large octagonal cylinder decorated with crisscrossed windows. Atop the cylinder, a large dome can be seen. Eight additional domes can be seen along the side of the building, but no elongated cylinder is seen supporting it. Many rectangular windows are also visible along the side of the building. In the background, tall palm trees have been drawn with bushes along a narrow road. A single man and two women have been drawn on the road next to the structure. In the extreme foreground, additional plants can be seen. Large clouds have been drawn in the sky above. Description at bottom of photoprint reads: "Bottling Dept. Sparkletts Bottled Water Corp., Richard D. King Architect".
