Photograph of Hollywood Boulevard looking west (from Hudson?), California, 1905. Leaning trees spaced at regular intervals down the street dominate the foreground of the photograph, partially obscuring the homes and telephone poles in the background. The top of one house along with its attic window, is visible from behind treecover to the left. The edge of another, two-story house is visible to the right. The bottom of a telephone pole is also visible between the two frontmost trees in the foreground.
