Shell Oil Company Building under construction at the California Pacific International Exposition, San Diego, circa 1935
- Description:
- Photograph of the Shell Oil Company Building, cast in concrete in the shape of a seashell, at the California Pacific International Exposition during the end stages of construction. A ladder is suspended from the top of the shell and a man is suspended on a scaffold near the top on the right. Scaffolding is on the ground in front of the building. Technical writing appears on each shell spandrel about midway up the façade (where there appears to be a join between 2 large cast shell sections), at the bases of the shell spandrels, and around the doorway. A flatbed truck and 2 cars are parked in front and 2 boys are passing on a bicycle.
