Photograph of an exterior view of the Wilshire Presbyterian Church, showing a parked car, 1920-1940. The "L"-shaped building is shown at center, its narrow side facing forward, offering three sets of double-doors as its entrance. Farther back and to the left, the other section of the building can be seen behind a bell tower that appears to be free-standing. Farther foward, a lone automobile is parked on the street just in front of the church colonnade.
