Photograph of an exterior view of Saint Vincent's Roman Catholic Church, Adams Boulevard and Figueroa Street, January 1931. Two automobiles sit parked along the far side of a street that lies across the foreground. Palm trees line the sidewalk behind the street with fenced plots of various plants behind them. The plots decorate the area in front of the large church at center. Stairs lead to the large, arched entrance at left where a large, elaborate tower stands. A dome stands on the back side of the church at right. Another large building can be seen in the left background.
