Visible signs include "Whirlwind Auto Park," "Albers Waffle Parlor," "The Overlook Hotel and Apartments," "Harbor Lunch Coca-Cola," and a road barricade stamped "Sharp & Fellows Cont. Co." The Looff Hippodrome building with center dome is visible, with the La Monica Ballroom building in the background. This is a copy negative (a photograph of another photograph).
