Unlike the building sites and skylines that dominate most pictures of the decade, this one preserves two trade advertisements: one for C.A. Dunham Co., offering heating service, and another for Standard Engineering Co., which promoted plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. Dated 1923, the notices reflect a period of rapid American construction, when central heating, indoor plumbing, and electric wiring were becoming standard in new homes and commercial buildings. The record describes this as a copy photograph made around 1990, so the view is one step removed from the original material.
