Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of Los Angeles from the City Hall tower, looking north, 1928. Various types of buildings are visible throughout the foreground and center up to hills in the background. The roof of a building with columns on its sides is visible in the left foreground. An American flag can be seen flying from the roof, while a statue of a boy with a bow and arrow is visible above the flag. What appears to be a church-like structure with a tower can be seen just beyond the columned building. Many of the other buildings appear to be residential. A few buildings can be seen near the base of and on the sides of hills in the background. Trees can be seen at the tops of these hills.
