Description
Photograph of a view of the Richfield vapor recovery plant in Watson, showing arrangement of equipment, ca.1940. Two one-story buildings are visible to the left of center with sloped roofs and a few rectangular windows on the sides. Pipes can be seen amongst two tall stacks in between the buildings, while a longer one-story building is visible at right. A tall, rectangular structure with many levels and a staircase leading to the top of it can be seen behind the buildings. Cylindrical-shaped structures, one of which reads, "61", are visible at left and in the background amongst other structures. The dirt slopes downward in the foreground.
