Description
Photograph of a view of Philadelphia Street looking north from the high school in Whittier, ca.1908. A bi-level, two-story house is partially visible in the extreme left foreground, obscuring part of the street beyond it, which slants leftward into the distant hills. The street itself is lined to either side by similar craftsman-style homes, spaced across each block with no apparent fences between them. Each block appears to be covered in grass, and oil derricks can be seen dappled across the hills in the background. A utility pole and its wires intrude from the center of the foreground.
