This circa-1924 photo shows horses being used to grade the land in the Hollywoodland real estate development. Seeing all that empty land around them makes me admire the foresight that the Hollywoodland developers had. Turns out, they had a little too much foresight as their original development too a v-e-r-y long time to come to fruition but they can take heart—Beverly Hills took a while to catch on, too.
