The black and white photolithograph shows a brick and stucco building with a round window below the pitched roofline and a bricked up arch immediately below. In front of the building are a series of large light colored pipes which run across the building horizontally. To the right of the building are a series of pipes which are vertical and rise up before angling to the left. In the upper right of the image is a square structure with a door on the right side. A smoke stack rises next to it on the right.
