View of five African American men, some with shovels, possibly engaged in Maple Avenue system sewer construction, Hartford, June 16, 1914. The men stand next to large cylindrical containers into which they appear to be shoveling and tamping down material of some kind. Sections of pipe can be seen in the foreground. Houses are visible in the background.
