Meeting for the residents of Riverside Drive, who were affected by the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Town meeting for residents of Riverside Drive, whose lives were affected when a landslide occurred in Elysian Park, behind their homes.

Because the crack had been identified early on, damage and injuries were largely avoided
