Next to him, a woman is typing at a typewriter. On the right side of the office, W. J. Bowen is standing and working at an elevated work table. Large, light-colored, concrete beams may be seen at the rear of the space. A brick fireplace is visible between a pillar and a rear window. On the fireplace mantle are a day calendar turned to “WED 5 JUN,” two photographs, and a small clock.
