Photograph of a view of Hollywood looking north from Hollywood High School, 1908. The back lot of Hollywood High School is visible in the foreground, with several benches situated along the perimeter of the dirt. A two-story house is pictured behind it, from the back of which two sets of steps descend from separate doors. A rood cut across the frame horizontally separating the house from the rest of the town, which is comprised mainly of two-story Victorian-style buildings at the foot of the mountains that can be seen in the distance. Utility poles can be seen along each street.
