Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Los Angeles looking east from Grand Street and Fifth Street, ca.1925. At the bottom center of the image, what appears to be a small mansion stands incongruous with the vast expanse of highrise buildings that surround it. To its immediate left is a building with a sign reading "Mutual Garage". To the right, a domed building of some sort can be seen. Other highrises fill the rest of the image.
