Photograph of a view of Wilshire Boulevard west from Figueroa Street before widening and paving, 1931. The narrow street is shown at center, without lines. Cars are parked to either side, with a building that appears to be a warehouse or parking garage at left. At right, the Rex Arms Hotel can be seen, along with a sign that reads "Judge Bishop". Railcar lines can be seen embedded in the street in the foreground.
