Photograph of a panorama of Gilmore Field, taken from the seats, at the Hollywood Baseball Park on Beverly Boulevard at Fairfax Avenue, 1938. The crowded seats of the stadium fill the left foreground, receding ahead into the distance. More bleachers, also full of spectators, run horizontally across the image at the background. The seating rows stand taller at the intersection of the left and right seating areas, and a covered overhang shields the corner seats. Stadium lights protrude from the roof of the structure. The baseball diamond sits at the center of the image, with players at all positions. Trees and a building are visible in the distance on the right.
