Sepia-tone photo of construction site next to a church building, location not established, probably Hoboken; Hoboken contractor pile driver, Feb. 9, 1909.
7-3/4" wide x 9-5-/8" wide print on 12" x 14" photographer's mount. Photograph taken by Conrad Magnus, Photo Artist, Hoboken, N.J. (blind emboss in lower right border); dated in image. Reverse is blank.
The church has not been identified. The building in the background is an industrial building (presumably a factory) with a rooftop water tank. The church walls are braced as pile driving is going on just a few feet away from it.
The mast support of the pile driver is lettered: R. Waddington & Sons, Pile Dvs. Tel. 229 Hoboken. (Business address of R. Waddington & Sons, Inc., Pile Drivers was at 619 Jefferson St., Hoboken. Robert Waddington and sons, Joseph and Henry.)Acquisition
