Description

This monochrome photograph, taken between approximately 1914 and 1920, depicts a tall, narrow industrial tower or chimney associated with a factory complex. The tower features vertical lettering on its side and is topped with a small, gabled roof structure and a thin flagpole. In the background, lower-profile industrial buildings with sawtooth rooflines and several other chimneys are visible against a light sky. The foreground is mostly obscured, with a dark, horizontal band suggesting a fence or a nearby structure. The photograph is presented with a thin white border. Faint text is visible on the upper section of the tower, and additional metadata indicates this is part of a collection documenting Businesses and scenes in Oakland.
