ATSF LA "the patch" my version

[porthos]

This is the earliest picture I have been able to find of this area. Its an aerial shot taken in 1924 and shows that there is still a lot of area available for building. The Walnut Growers building is in as is Phillips Poultry and the curved alleyway between the buildings. Commonwealth Steel and Supply does not exist yet. It actually shows some detail on the buildings that are actually missing now, the two story ones that were demolished to make way for the massive warehouse that sits there now.
Here is a link to the file in the LA Library photo collection

Okay that link won't work because its defined as a session.
The only real way to see it is to navigate to the picture itself. To do that go here: http://www.lapl.org/
