Description
Photograph of a view of Wilshire Boulevard looking west towards the Wilshire Boulevard Christian Church, February 28, 1927. Wilshire runs from the foreground at right into the background at center. A tall building can be seen in the foreground at right, while the light-colored spire of the church is visible in the background at center. At left, the street is lined with palm trees and a concrete sidewalk. Several automobiles can be seen parked along the sides of the road. Road construction is taking place in the background at center. What may be the Brown Derby is further down the street from there.
