Please note that this stereoview does not have a caption. However, we have seen another copy of this view with a small printed sticker that identified this scene: "*219. Silver Springs Run, Fla. Agnew's Turpentine Manufactory. The Cooper Shop." (This copy is better, by the way.)
We see an open-aired building with two men inside making barrels for turpentine.
