"[ca. 1860] Pacific Cotton Mills. Boilers for Dyes."

Six circular boilers are seen in a row extending away from the camera. A faucet extends from each and a bucket lay on the ground beneath them. You can just make out three windows behind the boilers and a few pipes extending into the ceiling. The floor is made of what looks like bricks.
