The black and white photolithograph shows a wall of a brick and stucco building with pipe emerging from and across a portion of the wall. The wall on the left is brick with a large grate to the right that is slightly inset. Along the top there is a section of small square tiles, above are two arched windows outlined in brick. There is a shallow l-shape next to the grate where the corner juts out. Around and across the l-shape are a series of dark pipes with ninety-degree angles that wrap around the corner or run across the picture to the right side.
