Description

Workers at a brick making plant gather for a photo with tools of their trade; apparently family members were also included in the photo since there are very young children and a woman with an infant. Older children and adults sat on rows of steps above the younger children. The plant was a wooden building with three doorways and six windows in this facade. There are two African American men in the photo. The grass in front of the platform was mostly weeds and was overgrown; railroad tracks are at the base of the hill. Approximately 60 people were at the plant for this photo. 9 1/4 x 7 1/2 in. black and white photograph.
