On the Job in 1874

JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post

This post really doesn't have anything to do with anything--it is just an interesting image of a newly constructed building capturing a sense of its solemn activity ornamented in heaviness, intersected by one guy (perhaps a watchman) who is standing there at the intersection of Nothing & Everything.
