Photograph of a birdseye view of the construction of the Los Angeles County Fair Grounds, showing rows of trees in the background, 1922. A large expanse of worked dirt sits at the center of the image, with rows of long, low buildings to its right. A few automobiles are parked in front of a low archway that sits at the front of the dirt site. A wooden structure, possibly the grandstand, sits at the rear of the dirt area. Rows of trees are visible in the right background, while hills can be seen at left.
