One man, fourth from the left, at the front most table is holding an American flag. It is inside a large wood barn-like structure with exposed rafters, beams and other framing overhead and electric light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Wooden pole is in the center of the room. Some cloth-like object appears piled in left foreground.
