Photograph of an aerial view of Hollywood Boulevard, looking east, California, ca.1925. A four-lane street, the boulevard, stretches down the center of the image, filled with cars. High-rise tenement buildings line the street to either side, dissipating into residential homes as the landscape moves further left and right of the street. Treetops can be seen interspersed throughout the city.
