Description

Photograph of a frontal view of a model of Los Angeles City Hall (built in 1928), ca. 1920. The model of Los Angeles City Hall can be seen, center, on top of a table. The city hall model consists of a large rectangular base with a smaller rectangular section placed on top. At the venter of the building, a vertical rectangular tower with a pointed top divides the structure. A large staircase can be seen at the front of the structure with arched entryways and columns. A book case can be seen behind the model, placed in between two photographs of Native Americans, which can be seen hung on the walls behind the model. A third photograph of a Native American can be seen hung on the pillar at right, and a woven Native American wall hanging can be seen hung on the wall behind the model, at far left. Compares to CHS-39560.
