Description

The original rustic branch fence at Palisades Park was gradually replaced with both a wood rail and a concrete fence. The project was completed around 1946. A photograph featuring the original rustic eucalyptus branch fence was also taken from this location. The photograph was housed in this negative sleeve (see image ark no. 21198/zz002d4zjn).
View facing south along the cliff face of Palisades Park behind a wood rail fence (left). Beach houses and the Santa Monica Beach are viewed at right, with the pier in the distance. Photographed from the vicinity of Marguerita Ave.
