View of construction site of factory building. Metal parts are stacked in the foreground, and men are sitting in a railroad car on the left. A man is at the to of a tall ladder near the brickwork of the new factory building. The rest of the factory building has an exposed steel or iron structure, and on the right men are working on the top of a brick chimney which may be for a forge. A tall metal boiler next to it has a sign that reads: "Manufactured by The Wickes Boiler Company, Saginaw, Michigan, U.S.A."
