Description
Photograph of an aerial view of a residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, ca.1940. Hundreds of small houses can be seen across the image from the foreground to the background. They are separated into blocks by paved roads that intersect at right angles. Most have small yards, although many have very large open spaces nearby. In the foreground, large dirt fields are visible and contain a small number of houses. Photoprint reads: "This photograph is loaned to you. Please return to: Illustrator. L.A. City Planning Dept. Rm.361 F City Hall, Los Angeles, California".
