Description
Photograph of frontal view of model of Los Angeles City Hall (built in 1928), [s.d.]. In the foreground at center, a large model sits atop a covered table. The city hall model sits near the left edge of the table, while a model of a small garden consisting of bushes and a round fountain can be seen to the right. The city hall model consists of a large rectangular base with a smaller rectangular section placed on top. At the center of building, a vertical rectangular tower with a pointer top divides the structure. A large staircase can be seen at the front of the structure with arched entryways and columns. In the extreme background at left, a column holding a photograph can be seen. At center, a bookcase is visible near what appears to be a tapestry. Another photograph near a chair can be seen to the far right.
