Title supplied by cataloger.; Oversized photograph. This section of Pacific Coast Highway was formally dedicated as the 'Theodore Roosevelt Highway' when it was completed in 1929 and was generally known as the 'Roosevelt Highway' or 'Coast Highway' in the 1930s. It was designated as US 101A (Alternate) in 1936. State legislative action in 1964 changed many highway numbers in California, and US 101A became CA 1. In the same year, the state legislature offically named CA 1 'Pacific Coast Highway' in Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Several men are gazing at a huge boulder that crashed into the front of a beach house during a winter storm, tilting it up off its foundations and shattering the front. Debris and mud from the rockslide litter the side of the road. The house is on 101A at Topanga Canyon. Photo dated: Jan. 18, 1952.
