The Sylmar Packing Corporation, which was located at 448 South Hill Street in Sylmar, handled the product of the largest olive grove in the world and was once the largest industry in Sylmar. It was demolished in 1958 and there is no Hill Street in Sylmar today, but there is a Hill Crest Avenue and a Hillside Drive, both north of a street still called Olive View Drive. View is looking at three men working at olive curing vats in Sylmar. Olive groves can be seen in the background. (This photo similar to 00031680, except this photo shows alittle less of a wooden platform, left foreground.)
