Description
Photograph of the Midway Gas Company, Dominguez Compressor Plant, ca.1930. The plant sits in the foreground, with a cylindrical tank atop a tower at its rightmost corner. A shed stands across the tank, and another house-like structure sits across a field at right of the plant. A large empty field stands behind the plant, and a fenced complex of houses and structures appears left of the background beside a tall tower that resembles a derrick. Several other roofed structures stand across this area.
