Photograph of an aerial view of four Santa Monica beach homes looking down from Palisades Park, 1930. The four homes are at center and are built very close to one another. They are all two-story Spanish-style buildings with light-colored walls and terracotta tile roofs. The beach is visible behind the homes and a narrow road is in front of them. Running parallel to the road is a set of railroad tracks, as well as a line of utility poles.
