Photograph of a view of Hollywood looking south from the head of Highland Avenue near Franklin Avenue and Western Avenue, June 1928. Automobiles navigate the unlined road that curves to the right through residential Hollywood. A street sign read: "Caution Speed Limit 15 Miles". Palm trees and street lamps line the sidewalks to either side. Over the houses and trees, the city can be seen in the background, just barely showing the top of Grauman's Chinese Theatre to the right. Legible signs include: "Mutual Pays 6 %", "El Carioca Theatre", "El Capitan", and "Garage".
