Description
Photograph of men painting a row of small wooden buildings along a dirt road, [s.d.]. The road curves from the foreground at left into the background at center. Long rows of small, prefabricated wooden buildings line both sides of the road. The bulidings are all alike and have a door flanked by two windows and a small covered porch. Rows of young palm trees are planted between the buildings and the road. Two men with a ladder can be seen in the foreground at right, while another painter stands near several cans of paint at left. A city can be seen in the background, and a blimp is visible over the city.
