This collection is comprised of approximately 1,000 slides capturing buildings along Wilshire Boulevard. The slides were taken during Tuesday afternoon walks in 1978-1979 by Marlene Laskey and her 15-year-old daughter, Annie, who was the primary photographer. Marlene (1933-1989) was a Michigan native who moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s and became a Los Angeles historian and architecture enthusiast. At the time of her death from cancer, Marlene was working on a Master of Urban Planning degree at UCLA, and was an interviewer for UCLA's Oral History program.; Title supplied by cataloger; The highest resolution available for this image is 300 dpi. Looking across the street towards the Santa Monica Professional Building, located at 710 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, showing the large commercial building with its storefronts on the ground floor; a neighboring branch for California Federal Savings is seen on the left. Designed by Arthur E. Harvey and built in 1928, this 6-story Spanish Colonial revival building has a "Y"-shape configuration.
