Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Los Angeles City Hall, built in 1928, [s.d.]. The tall structure is visible at center, and is composed of a one- to two- story base. Several arches can be seen at the entrance to the building at right. At least six stories are visible above the base, while a more narrow portion of the building extends upwards a few dozen more stories. The building almost converges to a point at top. Several automobiles can be seen lined up along a road in front of the building. The road runs from the left towards the right background. Grass can be seen in the foreground, while a palm tree surrounded by plants is visible in the extreme right foreground.
