Photograph of a view northeast showing Ramona Boulevard under construction, from a point one hundred feet north of the intersection of Mitchell and Echandia Streets, ca.1934. Railroad tracks curve from the left foreground towards the center distance. Electrical poles stand along either side with the long railroad station on the far left. Bushes sit on the dusty hill in the foreground on the right obstructing the view of the residential area in the background behind them. A very large building stands above the city in the background on the left. Compares to USC-0-1-1-706 and USC-0-1-1-708 taken before and after street construction.
