Description
Photograph of the swimming pool at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, ca.1920-1929. The rectangular pool can be seen in the foreground. Several guests can be seen lounging around the pool under the shade of large umbrellas. The long hotel building can be seen in the background. It is a five-story structure with a tower at center and a terracotta tile roof. A flag flies from the top of the tower, while an American flag can be seen on a pole near the pool. Compares to CHS-35221, which shows the same shot with the people in slightly different positions.
