UCLA History: Sepulveda and Wilshire

The photo above was taken in 1937 in Westwood as part of a WPA/Federal Writers' Project Depression-era endeavor, probably a travel guide. Its caption reads:

"A typical California sunset as it appears through the pepper trees each evening at Sepulveda and Wilshire Blvds."

If we look at that intersection today towards where the sunset would appear, there is nothing recognizable, thanks to the freeway construction.
