Description
Photograph of an aerial view looking east at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and San Vicente Boulevard, August 6, 1926. Wilshire is at center and runs away from the camera while San Vicente runs from the lower left corner to the middle of the right edge. The land around the two large streets is divided into small blocks by narrow residential roads, and countless small houses are filling the blocks. The only open land is La Cienega Park, visible at left, and a large open field in the bottom right corner. Compares to CHS-11988, showing the same view in 1923, and CHS-11991, showing the view in 1930.
