The image depicts a black and white photograph of an industrial facility situated by the sea. The building appears large with multiple columns, possibly indicative of its significance or function as a power house or processing plant. In front of this structure is turbulent ocean water with visible waves crashing against what seems to be breakwater pillars emerging from the sea. Additionally, several tall poles extend into the sky parallel to the shoreline, which could serve for various purposes like navigation markers or electrical lines.

The overall atmosphere appears somber and industrialized due to its grayscale coloration and the overcast skies above. The text in the photo indicates it is an American Colony (Jerusalem) photograph from 1934-1939 by G-Eric & Edith Matson, possibly linked with a collection at Tel Aviv's Reading Power House or related institutions.

Additional information suggests that this image might be part of a larger set held in the collections associated with The Reading Power House.
