Description
Photograph of a view of Sunset Boulevard after a widening project from the previous year, 1931. At center, the wide, two lane street is shown, with the majority of its automobiles clustered in the distance. In the right foreground, however, a few are parked along the curb. Farther in, a billboard reads "Los Angeles [...] Dayton [...]", and commercial buildings can be seen. Compares to USC-0-1-1-3483. Photoprint reads: "Views showing condition during construction of the 2" Warrenite-Bitulithic surface on a 6" Portland cement concrete base and the finished pavement".
