Description
Photograph of an aerial view looking east at a fire at the Shrine Auditorium, 1920. Very little of the Arabesque building itself can be seen, as the walls are obscured by trees, and a large plume of smoke covers the roof of the building. The smoke reaches from the building to the top of the image. The University of Southern California is in the foreground its track stadium is in the lower left corner. The 6,500 seat Shrine burned down on January 11, 1920, and it took six years to rebuild.
