Taken on December 21, 1923, this glass negative shows a construction project whose exact location and name were never recorded, which is why the title ends in a question mark. The firm credited on the picture, Bartlett Hayward Co., was a foundry and engineering business with offices in Baltimore and New York, so the work may have involved cast metal or structural iron. The image belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a commercial photography firm that documented American cities and industry in the early twentieth century. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which come from deterioration in the original coatings over the decades.
