Photograph of the demolition of old narrow bridge across Venice Boulevard at West Boulevard, ca.1930-1960. At center, a wooden trestle is being dismantled by a mobile crane that stands to the right. Farther in the foreground, a man in a hat stands below near two sets of railway tracks and observes the demolition. Earlier record reads "Completed in 1920". Compares to USC-0-1-1-353, which shows new bridge.
