Photograph of a birdseye view of an unidentified city street, Los Angeles, [s.d.].

A used car lot is visible at left, while three-to-five-story buildings are visible behind the lot. A few pedestrians can be seen on the sidewalks, and buildings and trees continue into the background. Visible signs include: "Hotel Fresno, Rooms With or Without Bath $1.00 Per Day and Up. Parking Free to Guests", "Baby Ruth", "Birkel Music Co.", "The Derco Trunk Co.", "Bouquet Art [?]", "High Pressure", "Lucky Strike", and "Red Crown Zerolene Gasoline".
