Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Los Angeles and Mount Washington Incline Railway Station in Highland Park, 1910. The station is a two-story building at left, and the railway can be seen at right. The station is a Spanish-style building with several large archways and a small wooden balcony on the second floor. A concrete sidewalk encircles the building, and a dirt road runs in front of it. Several people can be seen between the station and a railway car at center. The car is Number Two, and is named Virginia.
This station building, as well as the upper station which was on the grounds of the former Mount Washington Hotel (now the World Headquarters of Self-Realization Fellowship), still exist (as of February 2010).
