Description
Photograph of the Wilshire Boulevard Causeway, showing Westlake Park (later MacArthur Park), [s.d.]. The causeway is shown at center, running from just left of center towards the background at right. It can be seen curving through the center of the park, which can be seen at left and right. One automobile is visible parked on the left side of the road, while what appears to be a line of spikes blocks off this entrance to Wilshire Boulevard. A lake or lagoon is visible at right and is partially obscured by trees. Various trees and palms can be seen at left. Automobiles can be seen in the foreground facing left on a street running perpendicular to Wilshire Boulevard. Highrise buildings can be seen in the background, including one with a sign that reads "West Coast Westlake Theatre".
