Description
Photograph of panoramic view of downtown Los Angeles, showing radio wave towers in background, ca.1930-1939. In the foreground at center, a section of a rooftop is visible. In the background at left, rows of large buildings can be seen. An American flag can be seen on the roof of one of the buildings. In the background at center, two large radio wave towers labeled "KRKD" can be seen. Between the two towers, City Hall can be seen in the extreme background. Beyond the cluster of buildings, a large mountain range is visible extending from left to right. Other visible signs include "Broadway", "Harris & Frank", and "Pionwhistle". Cf.
