Description
Photograph of Castle Rock in Santa Monica, looking northwest toward Topanga Canyon, ca.1928. The large conical rock is at center. At is base is a long sandy beach on which small waves are breaking and several people are playing. The Coast Highway is at right and winds its way along the shoreline, coming close to the back of Castle Rock. Several early-model automobiles are parked along the shoulders of the road. The right side of the road is bordered by steep hills. On the hillside at right is the very large Villa Leon, completed in 1928.
