- Description
- Distant photograph, from left to right, of H. H. West, Jr. and Mertie West posing on the front porch of the West's new residence on North Ridgewood Place. The front lawn of the duplex occupies the foreground. A walkway entering from the lower right corner stretches to the front steps back at center. The building is viewed at an angle from the front. H. H. West, Jr. and Mertie West stand side-by-side at the top of the steps, beneath the front arch of the porch. Both look to the camera. H. H. West, Jr. just arrived in Los Angeles from Attu Island, Alaska. He is dressed in his military uniform. Behind Mertie and H. H., Jr. the front doors to the building's units stand side-by-side. Their number plates, from left to right, read, "832," and "830." The central section of the building juts forward from the sides. A neighboring house is visible in the background at right.
