Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of downtown Los Angeles, [s.d.]. A wide paved road runs from the foreground at center to the background at left. Many large, multi-story buildings can be seen along the road and in the background at right. A building at right has a domed roof, while another has a tower that looks like a castle. A sign advertising the Security Trust and Savings Bank can be seen on the side of a building in the foreground at center. Automobiles can be seen on the streets of the city, and mountains are visible in the background at right.
