Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of the Los Angeles County Courthouse on the corner of First Street and Hill Street, ca.1959. The large rectangular building is at center. It is a long structure with several small attached rectangular sections. A tall section in the background at left stands high over the rest of the building and has a clock near the top. The streets around the courthouse are bustling with automotive activity, and a parking lot in the background at right is full of cars. A statue of Justice can be seen on the side of the building at right.
