Description

Photograph of an exterior view of the old City Hall building in Los Angeles, ca.1925. The tall brick building can be seen at center and is constructed in three sections : a tall tower at left ; a center section with a gabled roof ; and a tall section at right with a flat roof. Wide stairs lead to the building at center, and several tall windows can be seen along the front of the building. In the foreground, many early-model automobiles can be seen on a paved road. Many pedestrians can be seen as well. Large buildings can be seen on either side of City Hall.
