- Description:
- Photograph of the R. B. Clapp and H. H. West Company's receiving and shipping department, as viewed from the front. Omar Avenue stretches horizontally through the foreground. A right, the nose of a car juts into frame. Ahead of the car at center, piles of boxes sit in a row along the curb. Behind and to the left of the boxes, 2 men stand on the sidewalk. The man at center stands in profile, facing left. The man at left stands with his back to the camera. Behind them, on the sidewalk, a shelving unit stands. The office building stretches across the background. A sign over the central unit reads, "R. B. CLAPP | H. H. WEST CO. RECEIVING & SHIPPING DEPT." Etching in the front door of the central unit reads, "OFFICE [left pointing arrow] 314." Two adjoining units flank the central unit and stretch out-of-frame along the top and side edges. An address plate affixed to the lintel over the top of the leftmost unit reads, "316." Streaks of white extend down from the top and left edges.
