Description
Photograph of an aerial view of the Willys-Overland plant in Los Angeles, ca.1925. Rows of identical buildings sit perpendicular to a long building in the center. Cars are parked in a lot to the right and on the street at the bottom right. IN the background, a water tower that appears to have the company's name written on it stands to the left of center next to three square shaped buildings that get progressively smaller. The land behind the plant seems to be barren flat land lined with electrical and telephone poles.
