Photograph of an aerial view of Hollywood at the intersection of Western Avenue and Washington Avenue, 1918. There are orchards in the foreground, full of small trees planted in neat rows and surrounded by larger trees. Behind the orchard in the middle is the original Fox movie studio(?), complete with several large soundstages and other smaller buildings. Most of the rest of the city is developed, with residential buildings lining the perpendicular streets. There are several empty lots, however, especially in the back right corner.
