DescriptionDistant bird's-eye view of the Cheney Brothers factories. They are located in the center of the image amidst many trees and are barely visible. Two long rectangular buildings can be seen, sitting parallel to one another. Two small chimneys rise above the tree line just in front of them, probably coming from another building. There is a funnel of smoke rising just to the right. A narrow road runs left to right in front of the factory, seperated from the buildings by a row of trees.
