Photograph of a view of Venice Boulevard looking west from Seventh Avenue, showing newly-paved 95-foot street, ca.1930-1960. At center, a wide road is shown, several automobiles travelling away from the viewer along the right side. At left, large buildings appear to be homes, just in from shaggy palm trees. At the right edge of the image, a sign reads "[...] Orchestra [...]". Utility poles make a net over the road, likely for use with the streetcar tracks embedded in the pavement.
