DescriptionThis image depicts an unidentified male employee in the maintenance area of the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is unscrewing a jar filled with screws from the underside of a wooden shelf. There are six jars under this shelf and all are filled with either screws, washers, small claps, or nails. Above the jars, on top of the shelf, are numerous small cubby holes. Inside each cubby are small boxes of supplies or tools such as drill bits. Below the shelf are two large coils of wire hanging from nails embedded in the wall. The maintenance worker can be seen on the right side of the frame. He is wearing a light-colored shirt that has dark oil stains on it.
