Description
A real photo postcard of cooling towers at a gasoline plant at the Olinda oil field, Brea, California, ca. 1910s. The images shows personnel working with the towers, which appear to be on platforms as if being readied for placement and installation. In the background right is a long building with four smokestacks coming through the roof. A pencil inscription on the reverse of the unused card reads "Cooling Towers / Gasoline Plant." With edge bumping and light soiling, the condition is good.
