Garage on North Broadway, standing in lot of former George M. West family residence, Los Angeles, 1939
- Description:
- Photograph looking north across North Broadway (formerly Downey Avenue) and towards the garage that stands in the lot of a former residence of George M. West and family. North Broadway stretches across the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. A cable car juts into the image from the left. Cars are parked along the far side of North Broadway and face left. A three-story building with bay windows stands along the left edge. Next to it, the street front for a garage stands left-of-center. A sign atop the building reads, "GARAGE Mobilgas Mobiloil." On the front of the building itself, signage reads, "NORTH [BR]O[AD]WAY," "GARAGE," "IGNITIO[N] BATTERY B[OD]Y & FENDER" "FENDER & BODY WORK," "NORTH [BROAD]WAY," and "RADI[...]." A couple of businesses extend to the right of the garage. Signage on those buildings reads, "RADIO [...]," "CABINET," "[...] DRY CLEANERS," and "[...] A. B. COHN & BRO. DIAMOND JEWELRY LOANS 4[??] W. [...] ST. [...] OVER 60 YEARS." Cable car lines crisscross above North Broadway and another building stands past an intersection at far right in the distance.
