Description
Photograph of La Brea Avenue south from 20th Street after new pavement, ca.1920-1929. Five lanes composed of dots painted in a row can be seen across the broad paved road that runs from the foreground to the background. A few cars can be seen driving on the road at right, while sidewalks and one-story homes with grass lawns border both sides of the road. A pedestrian can be seen at left. Utility poles are visible throughout, while mountains can be seen in the distance.
