Description:: ANSWER: Sure, it's the lake in Hollenbeck Park , the photo being made near the Boyle Ave. entrance. The park acquired its name for the very logical reason that most of its acreage was given to the city by Mrs. J.E. Hollenbeck. (Correction: It was erroneously reported that most of the acreage for the park was donated by Mrs. J.E.Hollenbeck. Actually, two-thirds of the property was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William H. Workman and it was their suggestion that the park be named for J.E. Hollenbeck, a close friend.) correction from 12/31/1955 paper

Description:: ANSWER: The body of water shown in the photo is one of the Van Norman Lakes. Known until recently as the Upper San Fernando Reservoir, it is used by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power as the main storage place for the precious water from the Owens River, arriving here via a 233-mile aqueduct. It is adjacent to Sepulveda Blvd. in the northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley. It and a similar nearby reservoir were renamed in honor of late H.A. Van Norman, once general manager of the Department of Water and Power, who played a leading role in construction of the Owens River Aqueduct.
