Description
Photograph of angled view of model of Los Angeles City Hall (built in 1928), [s.d.]. In the foreground at center, a large model sits atop a covered table. The city hall model sits near the left edge of the table, while a model of a small garden consisting of bushes and a round fountain can be seen to the right. The city hall model consists of a large rectangular base with a smaller rectangular section placed on top. At the center of building, a vertical rectangular tower with a pointer top divides the structure. A large staircase can be seen at the front of the structure with arched entryways and columns. In the background at right, two chairs positioned next to a column holding a photograph can be seen. In the extreme background center, photographs can be seen hanging on the wall. A chair holding a small bucket is also visible at left. What appears to be tapestries can be seen to the left and right of the chair.
