Description
This collection is comprised of approximately 1,000 slides capturing buildings along Wilshire Boulevard. The slides were taken during Tuesday afternoon walks in 1978-1979 by Marlene Laskey and her 15-year-old daughter, Annie, who was the primary photographer. Marlene (1933-1989) was a Michigan native who moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s and became a Los Angeles historian and architecture enthusiast. At the time of her death from cancer, Marlene was working on a Master of Urban Planning degree at UCLA, and was an interviewer for UCLA's Oral History program.; Title supplied by cataloger; The highest resolution available for this image is 300 dpi.
Looking northeast across Alexandria Avenue towards the Brown Derby Plaza, a strip mall located at 3377 Wilshire Boulevard; a sign for a food court appears on the right. The shell of the hat-shaped dome (left of center) from the first Brown Derby Restaurant, which was demolished in 1980, was saved and incorporated into this shopping center.
