Description
Photograph of a view of the Western Air Express airport from the street, on March 19, 1931. A two-story structure with a small control tower(?) atop it sits across a paved road, while several automobiles park in front of its shady entrance. The road curves toward the left, and several trees and small bushes stand on a grassy lawn by a shorter extension of the airport's main building. A wind sock stands atop the top floor of the structure, blowing towards the right, while a weather vein sits next to it, at left.
