"Artist's concept of Vertical Assembly Bldg, and area, Complex 39.
SHOT FOR: Joe Robertson"
Initially referred to as the "Vertical" Assembly Building. The labeled 'S-IVB' stage of the Advanced Saturn(?)/Saturn C-5(?) can be made out. The extended length between the Command Module & S-IVB probably indicates that Direct Ascent was still under consideration. Note also the stationary/static "Arming Tower", to the far right, just off the crawlerway, later to evolve into the "Mobile Service Structure":

A beautiful work by the multifaceted and (I think) rather eclectic Don Mackey. The detail & 'character' of Mr. Mackey's works demands further browsing & the perusal of the subtle details & nuances...kinda like swishing wine around in your mouth - if you do that sort of thing. Even/especially(?) his postcards merit a closer look!

No idea who Joe Robertson was. Thought I'd find something, this photo apparently being earmarked as additionally/exclusively(?) for him.
