    A prototype of some test version of refinery technology?
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    We recently found some old catalog cards for Harris & Ewing that had a caption for this photo. The caption for this photo should be: “UNCLE SAM HAS TURNED DISTILLER” In the campaign to outwit bootleggers and at the same times develop a non-poisonous denaturant for alcohol, the Prohibition Bureau has set up a modern copper still of miniature “commercial” proportions in the laboratory atop the United States Treasury building in Washington, to give severe practical tests to all tentative formulae. The business of this new still is do the same thing the bootlegger does--take the poison out of denatured alcohol but at the same time make it disagreeable to the taste. G.F. Beyer, chief chemist of the Prohibition Unit, is shown in the picture."

    Taken from the bridge on Bridge St. looking North: Streetview
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the 25", the large building at left is a Distillery, the more distant one at far left a corn mill. On map and this shot the building at right is a woolen factory. In streetview we see the 1960s Cathedral dome (or Taj Michéal as it is sometimes known).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    One of the men is wearing a boater, probably 1900-1910.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In the distance I see the railway viaduct, in operation from 1895.
