Description
Photograph of construction work on a house, ca.1930. A building with a flat roof and a bare façade sits in the center and extends from the foreground to the background. What seems to be a large entryway sits to the right of center with a ladder and a man on the right side of the doorway. To the left, four large windows that glisten in the sun are lined up in the center of the walls. A long ladder that reaches the roof leans against the building the left while a small ladder stabilizes itself next to a window in the center. A man bends over to the right of the ladder while a truck can be seen parked on the right with piles of dirt and construction refuse in front of the building.
