Description
Photograph of a front view of the entrance to Santa Anita Racetrack, Arcadia, 1957. A group of people can be seen in the center either sitting down on benches or standing in front of a large building, which is visible in the background. The building has three flags flaring from individual poles on the roof. The entrance of the building is filled with a crowd of people. Further in the back, the other end of the building is exposed. Tall palm trees are visible to the left and right of the entrance and a design of a horse race is visible on the left side of the building. A garden with flowers, small bushes and palm trees fill in the extreme foreground.
