Description
Photograph of a view of the swimming pool at the Hotel Vista del Arroyo in Pasadena, showing the Arroyo Seco bridge, ca.1940-1949. The swimming pool, rectangular with semi-circular stairs at the visible end, sits in the center foreground of the image, surrounded by patterened umbrellas. Many people sit underneath the umbrellas, while a woman walks across a surface-level path that lays across the middle of the pool. A parking lot filled with automobiles sits behind the pool. The Arroyo Seco bridge stands in the background amidst the trees, its height reaching nearly to the top of the image. Hills are visible in the distance. Picture file card identifies the bridge as "suicide bridge".
