- Description
- Photograph of 314-318 Omar Avenue, home of the new offices of the H. H. West Co., as viewed from across the street. Omar Avenue passes on an upward angle from right to left through the foreground. A 2-story brick building stands on the far side of the street at center. It is viewed at an angle from the front and faces left. The building appears to be divided into 5 sections as there are 5 entrances with store fronts on the ground floor. On either side of the central entrance, identical signs sit in the windows. They read, "KRAMER & KRAMER STEEL AND BRASS PRODUCTS." A larger sign stretches beneath the second floor windows of the unit second-from-left; it reads, "KRAMER & KRAMER STEEL & BRASS PRODUCTS." An adjacent building stands to the right of the office building for the H. H. West Company and extends out-of-frame. What looks to be a house stands to the left of 314-318 Omar Avenue. Beyond the house, the side of a nearby building is visible. Signage along the side of the building reads, "U.S. FLEXIBLE METALLIC TUBING CO.," and "HERSEY MFG. CO." Two cars at left are parked along the curb in front of the house.
