The Hoover Dam, on the border between Nevada and Arizona, was constructed between 1931-1936. The Los Angeles Times held several subscription drives in late 1934 and early 1935, and entrants who sold subscriptions could earn points. Those who earned the most points won an all-expenses-paid trip to see the dam being constructed. This photograph is likely from the trip held from March 2-4, 1935. A group of men and women pose for a photograph standing behind a metal handrail, before embarking from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles for their tour of the Hoover Dam.
