Description
Photograph of the construction of sidewalks, ca.1930. A layer of mesh wire lays on top of the group with wooden walls of support surrounding it to form a rectangle in the center. On the right, a man stands wearing overalls with a hammer hanging off his side. The man holds one end of a fence while a man to the left of center holds the other end of the same fence. In the background, three men bend over as they shovel dirt away from the construction. To the left, a sixth man stands holding a shovel. Bare trees line the construction sight as well as the street in the background.
