Description
Photograph of a view of Fifth Avenue, looking north from Fifty-Fourth Street, showing construction of the Slauson Avenue storm drain, June 1934. The open beamwork of the storm drain runs through the center of the image, bordered on each side by high piles of dirt. Workmen with shovels stand in the drain, below ground level, while other workmen stand on and around the dirt piles to the right of the drain. Large-diameter pipe sections line the street behind the dirt piles on the right side of the image. Trees and residences can be seen in the background.
