Description
Photograph of exterior view of the General Telephone Co. building, Santa Monica, ca.1960. In the extreme foreground at right, a paved, two-lane road can be seen extending into the background at left. An automobile can be seen parked along the curb near a small sign. To the right of the road, a large parking lot filled with automobiles is visible. In the extreme background at center, a large rectangular building is visible. A rectangular section at center is larger than the other sections of the structure.
