Photograph of a view of the electric fountain at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills at night, [s.d.]. A lit fountain, consisting of a round, tiled pool with a concrete structure in the middle, sits at the center of the image. The concrete structure is made up of a low, round pedestal decorated by relief sculpture of figures and a central, rectangular column, topped by a kneeling figure. Lit beams of water extend into the air from the pedestal, while other lights project from the bottom of the pedestal into the pool. The fountain is bordered by brickwork in the foreground. Lights from a city or residential area are visible in the right background.
