Photograph of a view of the Frank Wiggins Trade School from the Olympic Auditorium, July 1927. The tall brick school can be seen at center. It is a rectangular building with rows of identical windows on all of its stories. A line of fire escapes cascades down the front of the building at left. In the foreground, the roofs of several small buildings and the tops of trees are visible. Tall buildings are visible in the background at left, and a sign on top of one of them advertises the Los Angeles Examiner Newspaper.
