Unfortunately many of those buildings were demolished in the name of progress

Very interesting pictures. There is desert near Los Angeles. That was new thing to me. And trams in Los Angeles? I know that Los Angeles have light rail but trams.

And you have posted hundreds of nice historical photos. Are you robbed some museum?

No, I have my own private library. I used to got to the city and county libraries and whenever they used to get rid of their old books I use d to buy them for a fraction of their price, therefore I built my own set of books, a little outdated but books any way. Periodically I scan the pictures and make my own folders of old pictures.

Yes Los Angeles is a semi desert area, if it wasn't by the works of Mullholand and the aqueduct, as well as the water brought to the area from the Colorado River the city would be another Phoenix or Tucson.
