The black and white photolithograph shows an l-shaped corner of an industrial building. The building fills the picture plane, it is made of brick with a stone façade along the ground floor level. The stonework has three arched openings, from the center arch four large light colored pipes emerge and rise up to the second level before turning right at a ninety degree angle. The pipes obscure one of three windows on the second floor and part of one of two windows on the third floor. On the right is a brick extension that is at right angles to the larger building.
