Description
Photograph of a view of the Los Angeles basin (including Pasadena), with Echo Mountain House and Observatory in foreground, [s.d.]. The large Echo Mountain House stands at the top of a grassy hill in the left foreground with a road next to it that leads to the Observatory at right. The Los Angeles basin lies behind the hill with roads extending through the many grass fields. A fog hangs over the basin and low mountains are barely visible in the background.
