The city of Compton re-establishes its shopping district in miniature within the Oil Exposition building, a huge, undamaged structure. The building is divided by two cross-lanes, called Compton Boulevard and Tamarind, along which the merchants place their counters in exactly the same order as their store fronts stood on those main streets before the temblors destroyed them. Shown in the foreground is a drug store. Photograph dated March 14, 1933.
