Description
Photograph of an aerial view of Beverly Hills, with Sunset Boulevard in the background, ca.1918. All of the streets in this wealthy residential neighborhood are lined with trees and intersect at unusual angles. The few visible houses are widely spaced, are all large, and all have exquisitely landscaped yards. Canon Drive is visible in the foreground, marked by a large round building. The residence of Tom May is visible along this road.
