J. L. Smith Cabinet Shops
Title
J. L. Smith Cabinet Shops
Description
Black and white image of a large, two-story wooden building with a number of people and goods in front of it. A number of men stand in a loosely arranged row across the image, holding various tools and wooden goods. Various shelves, boxes, bed-frames, doors, window frames, and decorative trim and newels are arranged alongside, in between and in front of them. A dresser with a mirror frame stands at the end of the row. In the back right, three young girls in short skirts stand, one with her hand on a baby carriage where a toddler can be seen. A wagon that seems to be mostly a frame is hitched to a two-horse team at the far right of the image. Stacks of wood, doors, and a dresser with a mirror frame are scattered about in front of the shop in the open door. A large water tower stands just to the side of the building, with a ladder leading up to it from the base and another from the roof of the building.
