Description
Workers lay pipe for the Southern California Gas Company in Woodland Hills in Los Angeles. One man stands on the left with surveying equipment, another leans against a parked automobile, and six men with shovels and pick axes stand in a narrow trench on the right. Long pieces of pipe lay on the ground parallel to the trench. There is a domed church in the background.
Location based on photCL Whitt 0894, which shows a similarly shaped building at the corner of Ventura and Topanga Boulevard in the 1930s.
