Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Santa Monica Beach looking north from Palisades, ca.1920. A small collection of wooden buildings is on the beach in the foreground at left. Rows of cars are parked in front of these buildings. A two lane highway runs along the coast at center, and running parallel to this road is a railroad with a two-car train. A steep cliff is visible at right, and a wooden fence runs along the top. Large mountains can be seen through the haze in the distance at right.
