Weldon Avenue enters frame at left and stretches back towards center, curving before disappearing behind a stretch of vacant land. The barren land enters frame along the bottom edge and stretches back, following the curve of the road. A mound of earth rises up at far right. A few cars park along the left side of the road. Two houses also stand along the left side of the road. Councilman Edward L. Trasher's house stands rightmost, at center. It is viewed at an angle from the front and faces right. A different photograph of the same property on Weldon Avenue appears with the title, "Storm Follows Taking of Municipal Property," Los Angeles Times, 18 May 1932: A5 This photograph documents the same property that appears with the caption, “Picture Reveals Details of Councilman's Plan How plan advocated by Councilman Thrasher would turn ten feet of twenty-foot walk-way owned by the city over to adjoining property owner on the left-hand side is shown in the above. The house on the upper left with the scaffolding is where Thrasher lives and which he sold to another city employee. The ten-foot extension of the retaining wall recently built out on city property on Thrasher's say-so, also is depicted. The rest of the wall follows the dotted line on up to Weldon avenue, which the house fronts,” Los Angeles Times, 18 May 1932: A5 A different photograph of the same property on Weldon Avenue appears with the article, "LAND ANNEXING WILL BE AIRED: Thrasher Move to Enlarge Loot Develops Rumpus Council Committee Votes to Reconsider Approval Portion of Public Walkway Owned by City Involved," Los Angeles Times, 18 May 1932: A5 This negative appears to have been scanned from the wrong side.
