Description

Photograph of the exterior view of Hollywood High School Memorial Auditorium, ca.1929. The auditorium is a large building, and can be seen, at center, on a street corner. A long stretch of stairs can be seen in front of the auditorium, leading up to five front entrances separated by eight Romanesque columns. Seven windows can be seen above the five front entrances. The words, "Memorial Auditorium" can be seen above the windows, at the top of the building, engraved in capital letters. In the foreground, a street corner can be seen, as well as a tree, and a street light with a road sign. Several more trees can be seen growing on a lawn on the right side of the Memorial Auditorium.
