Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Wilson D. West mimicking his pose from a 1894 photograph by standing in the front yard of the old West family residence on South Workman Street. Wilson D. West stands in the near distance at center. He looks to the camera and folds his hands in front of him. The front lawn of the old West residence occupies the foreground. A water pipe rises from the lawn at left. Behind it, a walkway stretches across the yard and to the sidewalk at right. Small shrubs flank the walkway near the sidewalk. The sidewalk stretches from right and back to the left, disappearing behind a bush. A large tree stands behind and to the left of Wilson and houses line the opposite side of the street in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 1685. Los Angeles, California. South Workman street, East Los Angeles. 1. The old home at 429 South Workman street as it looked May 31, 1936. Wilson D. West standing in front. It is quite changed from 1894. 2. I had Wilson D. West stand at about the same place and position as he stood in 1894 and took the second picture. The water pipe is about where it was, but the faucet seems to have been changed. 2 films.
