It's a bit of original research, but it's likely that this picture was taken at 408 W. Washington St in Ann Arbor, MI. According to one of her obituaries, Geraldine Hoff was working in American Broach and Machine Co. in Ann Arbor.^[1] It seems that the American Broach factory was located at 408 W. Washington from 1919 to 1963.^[2] The building has since been torn down and is now the site of a YMCA.

^ "Doyle was a 17-year-old high school graduate when she took a job at the American Broach & Machine Co. in her hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1942, a time when millions of women across the country were going to work to replace men who had gone to war....Doyle was operating a metal-stamping machine when a United Press photographer took a picture of the tall, slender and glamorously beautiful brunet wearing a polka-dot bandana over her hair."
