Description
Photograph of Venice oil wells, [s.d.] The building in the foreground appears to be an office or house with two chimneys on its roof. Several automobiles are parked behind the building, as well as a trailer carrying an oil drum. Numerous oil derricks can be seen in the background, extending into the distance. One of the derricks behind the building bears a sign, which reads, "El Camino".
