This film consists entirely of footage shot during the construction of the foundation of the NIH Clinical Center. There are no legends, no sound, and no film title. Excavation of the hole has progressed to the point where wooden supports are being erected at the perimeter of the hole. Workmen are seen carrying lumber, hammering nails, driving earth-moving equipment, and walking around the work site. Part of the foundation has been prepared to the point where forms are in place for the pouring of cement. The camera pans around the site which includes sheds and automobiles.
