Description
Photograph of a man standing next to the brick building of the salt works owned by the Mellus brothers north of Redondo Beach, ca.1901(?). The man is pictured at left dressed in a suit, hat and white bowtie and is standing with his hands on his hips next to the squat brick building of the salt works to the right. The building appears to be in disrepair, a large chunk of the brick wall's first layer missing at the building's foremost corner. The door is pictured next to the man at left, while a slatted window is visible behind a tree pictured at right. Compares to CHS-12538.1 which shows a wider view of the same building.
