The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men standing in front of a building that appears to be in the process of being demolished. The building is a two-story structure with a large crane on the left side and a smaller building on the right side. The crane is lifting a large piece of metal into place, possibly from the ground. The men are wearing suits and hats, and some are looking at the crane. The sky is cloudy and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
