Description

Color: Brown A color polaroid photograph of honey combs in the floor of the upper deck of the Water Tower, 5 April 1977. Taken for documentation of the site restoration, the image shows floor joists and ribs at the corner of the deck and honeycombs filling the spaces between. Parts of metal scaffolding supports are seen at the upper left and top and there are tree branches in the background at top, but it cannot be determined at which corner this image was taken. At the bottom of the image is an inscription in pencil reading "Honey Comb Deposits / Watch Tower Deck 4/5/77." With little indication of wear or damage, the artifact is in good condition.
