Description
Photograph of a view of Santa Rosa Avenue in Altadena, showing automobiles, 1925. The single lane of the paved road cuts through two rows of tall deodar trees, which are decorated with lights for the entire length of the road during winter holidays, giving the street the nickname "Christmas Tree Lane". Two early automobiles are immediately apparent a short way up the road, while a longer line of cars can be seen hazily, closer to the horizon.
