Description
Photograph of aerial view of Griffith Observatory, showing hills of Los Feliz, ca.1935-1945. Looking northwest toward the observatory with bare hills of Los Feliz surrounding it. The vast hillsides spread from the foreground to the far background. Small roads can be seen snaking through the mountainsides. The observatory is a very small image in the center of the photo. The observatory consists of a large cylindrical building at center topped with a large dome. This building is flanked by two smaller cylindrical buildings also topped with small domes.
