Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Port of Los Angeles United States Federal Building, ca.1932. The building is at least two stories tall and is built in the 1930's modern style. Long, thin windows can be seen on the building, as well as two American flags flying from the roof. A sign at right towards the top of the building reads, "United States Post Office and Custom House". A road is visible in the foreground with cars parked along it in front of the building. Two men wearing suits stand at the corner at center. The murals within are W.P.A paintings. It is now on the list of historical monuments.
