DescriptionAerial view shows a complex of brick industrial buildings with clerestory, smokestacks, and tower. The word "CAPEWELL" appears on the roof of one building. Automobiles are parked in a parking lot behind the building with a cluster of large trees on the street corner behind them. The contrast for the area surrounding the factories has been greatly reduced so that these areas appear gray. Buildings lining the streets include multiple-family dwellings and a Gothic revival church.
