Scope and content

Photo depicts a large military-style Quonset hut with men working in front of it. Military cab over trucks in the foreground show the Quonset hut is large enough to park many trucks inside it. Ladders on the side and front of the hut suggest it's under construction. A man in white painter's overalls carrying a paint can is near sliding white front doors and ladders, and four men are at work in front of the hangar or Quonset hut at various benches. An engine is near them, and another truck is on the left of the hut. A fifth man is between the painter and the army trucks, possibly smoking, in front of a sign that says BE CAUTIOUS OF FIRE. Another sign on the door says NO SMOKING... OUT ONLY. Four three over three windows on sliding front doors.
