Description

A landscape-oriented black-and-white photographic print capturing the outdoor apple storage and processing area at Mitchell's Juice Plant. The image features large volumes of harvested apples piled high into two parallel, elongated outdoor storage bunkers or bins. Positioned directly between the two heaping piles of apples is a piece of industrial processing machinery, likely an open-air conveyor system used for transporting fruit into the facility. The storage area is situated immediately adjacent to a large factory building constructed from industrial cement brick. In the lower-left section of the frame, a light accumulation of snow is visible dusting the surface of the stored apples, reflecting late autumn weather conditions. The reverse side of the photograph features a prominent pre-printed black ink date stamp that reads: "NOV 15 1974".
