Description

B&R Sales Barn Under Construction, 1973. These three black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show a large, single-storey building under construction. Image 5 shows the building with only the foundation, some structural members and one wall constructed. There are five people within the building's footprint. A construction crane to the left of the building is lifting a long object. "CAPITAL CRANE" is painted on the crane. There is an expanse of a grassy area between the camera and the building. A house is partially visible in the background to the left of the building. Image 6 shows the crane lifting a wooden prefabricated wall from a horizontal position on the ground. The edge of the wall to which the crane is connected is lifted approximately 4-5 feet off of the ground. A large deciduous tree occupies the top-left quadrant of the image. Image 7 is very similar to the previous image, but here the wall is lifted approximately 6-7 feet off of the ground. Image 8 is similar to the previous two images, but here the wall is listed further off of the ground. Image 9 shows the wall lifted to a nearly vertical position. Image 10 shows the wall lifted to a vertical position. The top of the wall is still connected to the crane. Three people are standing within the footprint of the building. Image 11 is very similar to image 10, but here six people are visible standing within the building footprint. Image 12 shows the crane lifting another section of prefabricated wall into position on the building's foundation. The back end of the crane is facing toward the camera. Image 13 shows the same scene as in the previous image, but the photographer has moved approximately 50 feet to their left. The crane is in the upper-right quadrant of the image. This image is oriented vertically. Image 14 is nearly identical to the previous image. Image 15 is nearly identical to the previous two images, but here the image is oriented horizontally.
