Description
Photograph of a view of a fountain in Westlake Park in Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The fountain resembles a waterfall and empties into a small lily pond in the foreground. The water cascades down a steep hill at center, beneath a wide bridge. The bridge is made of wood and has wire decorations. In the background, a two-story house looks out over the edge of the hill. Three birds can be seen near the edge of the pond in the foreground. The name of the park was later changed to MacArthur Park.
