BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA-1957: Two men work on a wooden roof structure, laying planks on the sloped frame. One man in a light-colored long-sleeve shirt kneels to position the boards, while another in a blue and black striped shirt lifts and places long wooden beams. The footage, shot on 8mm film, shows the raw construction process under natural light, with visible film grain and a dark background emphasizing the work. This authentic home movie captures a moment of blue-collar labor during a house build.
