Description
Photograph of a lamp post on a street corner of Camino Real, 1936. The lamp post stands at center on a raised sidewalk. An "El Camino Real" sign posted on it reads "El Camino real", "Mission San Gabriel Arcangel 7", "Los Angeles Plaza 2[1/2]" and "Auto Club of So. Cal." An electrical pole stands in the left foreground and a tall palm tree stands just behind the lamp post. Automobiles (cars) sit on the road behind the sidewalk. Houses stand in front of trees and hills are visible in the background.
