Description
Photograph of Santa Barbara Avenue (later Martin Luther King Boulevard) looking west from Vermont Avenue after roadwork, November 17, 1937. This was taken after the removal of poles and the paving of the center section of the street. Tracks for trolley cars stripe the street in the foreground as well as the wide street which extends into the distance. Several cars drive along the street while many others are parked along the sidewalks. Electrical poles stand along either sidewalk. Brick buildings housing small shops line the street on both sides. Compares to CHS-42157 taken before road work.
