Description
The Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple, located at 112 North Central Avenue, is one of the largest Japanese temples in Southern California.

Black tenants who live in the nearby apartment, at left, have been served notice to evacuate by the Rev. Julius A. Goldwater, custodian of the temple. Down Central Avenue, just to left of the apartment building is the First Street Clinic. Photo dated December 30, 1944.
