Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Western Avenue looking north from 1st Street, Los Angeles, 1923. The road can be seen from the center foreground into the background. Shops and utility poles line both sides of the street, while cars can be seen parked on both sides of the street. Automobiles and streetcars can be seen driving on the road, while what appear to be houses can be seen beyond the shops. Hills are visible in the background. Legible signs include, from left: "Cafe", "Wilshire Cadillac Service", "Gasoline Puente Apex Motor Oil Ajax Tires", and "Rayfield Carburetor [...]".
