Description
Photograph of the residential street Painter Avenue looking north towards the mountains in Whittier, ca.1924. Bushy palm trees of the same height line the sidewalk to the right, behind which the porch of a one-story residential rancher-style home can be seen. At center, a topless automobile can be seen parked along the left side of the street while a van which reads "Motor Transit Stages" makes its way down the paved road. Farther back, more automobiles can be seen. In from the sidewalk to the left, a one-story modern-deco home can be seen with angular columns to either side of its entrance. Farther back, a two-story craftsman home is visible just in front of what appears to be the yard of a third home, where a car can be seen parked alongside a swatch of picket fence. The mountains are visible in the background, utility wires sloping down across their silhouette from the poles to the right.
