Title	Aerial view of Los Angeles, showing the then new City Hall and the city gasworks, ca. March 1928
Description	Photograph of an aerial view of Los Angeles, showing the then new City Hall and the city gasworks, ca. March 1928. Towards the top of the photo, wide, cylindrical wire-frame towers bear the title "L.A. Gas". The Los Angeles City Hall building stands at the center of the image, a tower flanked to either side by small highrise structures extending from a flat, wide one-story base level. What appears to be a gothic church can be seen just in front of it and to the left, its bell tower extending above the buildings around it. A second building also in front, but to the right, features a smaller clock tower. The surrounding area is a grid work of city streets packed to either side by tenement, business and commercial buildings.
