Negative no.B124. 1900-1903. Image depicts a view of the interior of an office in the Draper Company, possibly the Foundry Dept. office, given the wooden box stamped "Foundry Dept." under the table on the left. A rolltop desk in the center background is loaded with papers, ledgers, and cubbyholes, also filled with papers. A unit resembling a telephone sits at the edge of the desk, and may be a method of communicating to another office or the dept. floor. The desk to the right of the rolltop desk holds a typewriter and is also filled with papers and ledgers. Framed prints hang on the walls above windows which possibly look over the working floor. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 12, Folder 4, Item 124 for print of this negative.
