Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Close-up photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West, Frances West Wells, H. H. West, Jr., Ann West and Richard Siemsen posing on the front steps of the First Methodist Church of Hollywood. The group stands off-center to the left and all look to the camera. They are viewed close-up with some standing in partial view. Mertie West stands in partial view along the left edge. Frances Wells stands to the right of her; her hat extends beyond the top edge. Behind and to the right of Frances, H. H. West, Jr. stands a step higher. His head extends beyond the top edge. In front of H. H., Jr. and to the right, Ann Roth stands between Frances and Richard. Richard Siemsen stands rightmost; his head also extends beyond the top edge of the image. The front steps of the church rise behind them and towards the decorative front portal of the church that spans the background. According to the negative sleeve, members of the West family are gathered at H. H. West's home on North Ridgewood Place. That is likely incorrect as they appear to be posed on the front steps of a church (probably First Methodist Church of Hollywood), not a residence. Text from negative sleeve: 2146. 830 North Ridgewood Place Hollywood, Calif. June 1946. 1. L to R: Mrs H.H.West, Frances West Wells, H.H.West Jr, Mrs H.H.West Jr, Richard Siemsen. 2. L to R: Richard Siemsen, Frances West Wells, H. H. West, H.H.West Jr, Mrs H.H.West Jr
