Title supplied by cataloger. Panoramic view of West Hollywood, showing a few houses and much open space in 1909, when much of the area was agricultural. The view is from the rear of Wattles Gardens, a mansion and large formal garden developed by Gordon W. Wattles, a wealthy banker and railway company president from Omaha, Nebraska. The home and garden are the work of architects Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey. The property is bounded on the south by Hollywood Blvd. and on the west by Curson Avenue and the east by Sierra Bonita Avenue. The rise of the property from the south to the foothills in the north is 1000 feet. The gardens were later turned over to Hollywood Heritage, Inc. and opened to the public.
