Description
Photograph of one of five Iron Mountain pumping stations, showing large pipe work and scaffolding, ca.1930. At center, large cages of wires and beams can be seen stretching between two rocky cliffs. In the foreground at left, large metal sheets and frames have been placed between sections of the platform. At center, various tools and equipment lay scattered on the platform. A large pipe can be seen extending from the mesh of wires to the large rocky cliffs in the background on the left. To the far right of this platform, an elevated walkway has been constructed using small metal beams. Bits of materials and equipment lay across the scaffolding. In the foreground on the right, a small pipe runs beneath the scaffolding along the hillside. On the far right, planks and beams of wood can be seen extending above the platform. In the extreme background, additional platforms and scaffolding can be seen.
