Description
A slightly elevated panoramic view of a residential neighborhood in Long Beach, with the Signal Hill oil fields in the background. The neighborhood consists of hundreds of single family homes and small apartment buildings. A few of the houses in the foreground are still under construction, and the streets seem to be unpaved. There are a few automobiles parked on the street in the center of the image, and the street on the right is lined with cars. The entire horizon is lined with the oil derricks of Signal Hill. There is writing in the bottom right corner reading "The Aerograph Co."
