The black and white photolithograph shows two buildings in an industrial area. On the left in the background is a building with an arched roofline and a light colored disc just below the apex of the arch. A raised metal structure crosses from the left across the front of the building. On the right is a large brick building with inset vertical sections outlined by brick columns. A series of pipes attached to a girder run from the left to the building, turns to the left and down before turning at ninety degrees to the left to run across the building to the corner.
