CHIMNEY SETTING AT WORKMAN HOUSE SOUTHEAST WING
Color: Brown
A color polaroid photograph of the setting of the replacement chimney at the southeast wing of the Workman House, 4 January 1978. The chimney is at upper left of center positioned with a worker guiding it into the hole in the roof. Another worker is in the second floor window at center watching. The chimney is attached to a rope and pulley on the arm of the crane, which is at upper right. In the foreground lower right is part of the truck on which the crane is mounted. There is a dark-colored tarp on the roof of the house, in protection for rainy weather. The east facade of the house, includes the recently reconstructed section where the original adobe wall collapsed in 1977. The cement block, reconstructed brick at the second floor and other reconstructed details are shown before replastering was done. At the bottom left is a construction worker in a yellow safety helmet standing near the ladder used to access the roof. An inscription in pencil at the bottom of the object reads "Setting Chimney South East side of Workman / 1/4/78." In good condition, the artifact has little or no indication of wear or damage.
