Description
Photograph of a construction site with a bulldozer, guests, and officials, ca.1935. Five men stand in the center parallel to the bulldozer behind them. A sixth man stands to the left, perpendicular to the other men. Two more men stand in the doorway of the construction machine above the other men. All of these men wear suits and ties. To the left of the bulldozer, the side of the machine reads "J.G. Donovan & Son General Contractors Los Angeles Cal.". The operator of the machine can be seen inside the front on the right side. To the left, women wearing knee length dresses and floppy hats stand looking towards the viewer while a young child stands in front of them with his body turned to the side.
