Photograph of an aerial view of Hollywood looking northeast over Hollywood High School at the corner of Highland Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, 1918. The high school is at the center of the image and is identified by its many rectangular white buildings and large athletic field. Below the school are two orchards, filled with several neat rows of trees. The rest of the area around the high school is residential and has a mix of modest houses and trees covering its blocks. The base of the Hollywood Hills is visible in the upper right corner.
