Puerto Deseado, Santa Cruz
Freezer works, c1926
Utilitarian, rather than aesthetic
in design, this plant's function was to transform sheep into frozen
mutton for export. The ramp at the right was used to lead the
animals to the slaughter-section. The windowless building (rear
left) was probably the cold store, where stocks were held pending
arrival of transport vessels. [photo by Casari] [Read about
