A black and white photograph of rows of multi-paned windows.

The black and white photograph shows rows of multi-paned windows. The windows are layered with some more well-defined than others, some are slightly off the vertical alignment of others, leaning slightly to the right. The windows and dark spaces between cover the entire picture plane giving the image a patchwork effect. There are windows that are lighter interspersed with dimmer windows.
