Description
Photograph of automobiles parked during a Department of Public Works project, 1937. In the foreground, a large number of automobiles are parked without apparent pattern in a sandy lot. In the background, a small adobe flanks a long wooden walkway that leads into the ridge of what appears to be an excavation site in the distance. To the far left, a two-story Spanish Revival-style building is partially visible.
