Description

Photograph of Panoramic view of Los Angeles Civic Center, showing divided plots, ca.1932-1937. In the foreground at left, a small intersection can be seen with several automobiles. One of the roads of the intersection extends into the extreme background at center. Along the sides of the road, lines of automobiles can be seen. Several automobiles are also visible traveling along the street, as well as a large railcar. To the far left, a large rectangular building surrounded by a line of automobiles can be seen. Three arched entryways line the base of the building, while small windows cover the facade. Small decorations can be seen along many of the windows. In the background at left, a large plot of empty land has been marked off and labeled "A". Similarly, a section of buildings to the right has been labeled "B". Also, a large cluster of buildings in the foreground at right has been labeled "C". Plots "A" and "B" show recently acquired county property. Plot "C" shows old Federal Building and recently enlarged site for erection of the new Federal building. Previous version of record states: "Same view as #1-9-155, after extension of North Spring Street" and "See USC-0-1-12727" for earlier view".
