Description	Photograph of a view of Hollywood looking north from the Athletic Club, showing the Hotel Wilcox, Los Angeles, ca.1927.

A second residential area is visible in the distant hills, where the "Hollywoodland" sign is visible. What appears to be a weather ballon is suspended in the sky to the extreme right. Legible signs include: "Hotel Mark Twain", "[...] Transfer & Storage Co.", and "Warne[...]".
