Photograph of a view of Sepulveda Boulevard looking south from Magnolia Boulevard before improvement, November 21, 1939. Sepulveda is at center and is a paved, two lane road with dirt shoulders. Wide ditches can be seen on both sides of the road, and several automobiles are driving on its surface. A collection of small wooden buildings can be seen at left, while at right is an open field. A line of utility poles runs parallel to the road at left. A mountain range is visible in the background. Compares to CHS-14493, which shows the same street after improvement.
