Description: Photograph, from left to right, of Richard Siemsen, Frances West Wells, H. H. West, H. H. West, Jr. and Ann West posing on a lawn outside the First Methodist Church of Hollywood. The group stands off-center to the left in a row and all look to the camera. Behind the group, a sign stands at center. It reads, "[GLENN] RANDALL PHILLIPS, D.D. SUNDAY, JUNE 30. 9:30 [...] CHURCH SCHOO. [?]:45 A [...] 'AME[...] P[...']." Also behind the group, foliage lines the ground surrounding the exterior of the church, which stretches across the background.
According to the negative sleeve, members of the West family are gathered at H. H. West's home on North Ridgewood Place. That is likely incorrect as they appear to be posed on the lawn adjacent to a church (probably First Methodist Church of Hollywood), not a residence.
