This shows the Engineering building some time after 1910 when the tall brick smokestack was demolished and the power plant was moved to the present site. It is a summer day, windows are open, and a perforated hose is sprinkling water on the grass at the right. Above the fire hydrant is a metal frame over a walk with metal mesh and white objects forming an arch and "UC". Electric wires run to it from the corner utility pole. The white objects look like porcelain light bulb sockets - but no bulbs are visible. From the pole by the front door hangs a large spherical lamp which is on pulleys so it can be lowered. This may be an arc lamp. The utility pole at the left is so heavily laden that it has to be braced with a large steel pipe. In the trees at the left is a railroad boxcar. The white border is from black tape applied to the negative.
