Description
Photograph of an unidentified oil refinery, ca.1940. What appears to be a large, metal spool stand in the tall grass in the foreground. The large wheels of the spool obstruct the view of the tall, skeletal towers which stand in the background underneath the electrical lines which extend over the field below. Puffs of smoke float around the towers from the refinery which stands out of view beneath tall pipes which stand on the right of the towers.
