Panoramic view of North Figueroa Street as viewed from Spring Street, showing the results of street improvements, February 1936

The paved lanes of North Figueroa Street curve through the middle of the image, running from the foreground toward the distant skyline of downtown. A few automobiles are visible on Figueroa, while tree-lined hills sit to each side of the street.

The horizon is smoggy or foggy; the tower of City Hall sits at the center of the background.
