Description
FRONT DOOR OF THE WORKMAN HOUSE DURING PLASTER STRIPPING
Color: Brown; White
A color polaroid photograph of the front door of the Workman House during plaster stripping, 27 April 1978. The opened door is left of center and both the door and the wood frame are white, as if primed for repainting. Though dark, the interior center wall is partially visible and there seems to be large sheets of plywood reclining against the wall. To the right is the section of wall between the door and the window to the west, which is partially at far right. Part of the recent plaster layer is adjacent to the door frame, while the underlying "granite block" decorative plasterwork is next to this, gouged in preparation for restoration. Below this and also under the window appears to be some of the original adobe. Plaster debris on the floor is notable at the very bottom of the image. On the reverse is an ink inscription reading "Workman Porch / North Entry / stripping plaster / orig. under / photo by archt 4/27/78." Beneath this is a stamp for restoration architect Raymond Girvigian with his name, address, and telephone number, covered by a piece of tape. There is little indication of wear or damage and the artifact is in good condition.
