The photograph also features the pump station work bench next to the electrical boxes with the "Stop Mistakes in Painting" advertisement which can be seen in the background, at left. The work bench was a standard feature for this type of City of Los Angeles sewage pump station and is specified in the pump station plans, along with a bulletin board (not shown in photo).  The pump station has two levels, with this being the top floor.  The level below houses the pumps and wet well. The staff gauge is visible on the wall behind the employee that measures the water level in the wet well.  Other details shown in the photo include the glass oilers at the base of each pump motor and the tool board (with pipe wrench and pliers) to the right of the pump motors. Based on the circular brick construction of the station, the double hung windows and general layout, the photograph could be of the Mar Vista sewage pump station that was built circa 1927.
