Description
Southeast view of the Graycliff estate main house during construction with a workman on the scaffolding hammering the roof
The image shows a two-story wooden structure under construction. Temporary scaffolding surrounds the building, and a person is working on the upper level near the roofline. A cement mixer on wheels is positioned in front of the structure, with piles of dirt and stacks of lumber on the ground in the foreground. The skeletal framework of the roof and the unpainted wooden planks indicate that the construction is in an early stage.
