Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of Whittier along Philidelphia Street north of the State Reform School, ca.1900. Trees in what appears to be a park obscure much of the buildings to the right, while buildings for the San Pedro and Whittier Lumber companies can be seen along the unpaved Philidelphia Street to the left. Farther back, at center, the domed building of New High School can be seen, beyond which the residential area of the town is visible, moving toward the mountains which are peppered with oil derricks. Legible signs from left to right include: "San Pedro Lumber Co. Lumber, Lath and Shingles [...] Doors [...] Concrete [...]", "Whittier Lumber and Mill Company", "Production", and "[...] has no equal".
