Description
Photograph of a view of the Sunset Boulevard overpass on Glendale Boulevard before reconstruction, April 7, 1934. A paved road with streetcar tracks in it can be seen from the foreground into the background. An overpass can be seen at center. Two walls hold up the center of the overpass, which forms three small tunnels for automobiles to drive under. A line of four cars can be seen driving under the part of the roadway at left. A four-story brick building with stores on the ground level can be seen at right. An automobile is parked in front, while people sit on a bench. A billboard in front of a building can be seen at left reading, "[...] State Dairy Products". Other buildings are visible in the background. Compare: CHS-42113, CHS-42114. Note photograph #USC-1-1-1-242 showing the same view in 1934.
