Description |
Untitled [Dollaradio Receiving Station], c. 1930-1950s. Black and white photograph shows the Dollaradio Receiving Station in Pacifica. The brick building's main portion has a gable roof with a false front. A smaller entrance area done in the same style connects perpendicularly to the main structure and has an arched doorway flanked by long windows. The side of the building closest to the viewer shows multiple clear glass windowpanes surrounding an entrance door with a circular transom window above. Flowering shrubs are planted along the building between the two entrances. Several tall poles connected to wires appear at right and left of the building. |
