It looks like every available light was trained on the Los Angeles City Hall for this nighttime shot taken in 1929. The building had only opened the previous year and was a pretty big deal. From then until 1973, it was the tallest building in LA and a source of great civic pride. This view is looking northeast from Bunker Hill (back when there was an actual hill to stand on!) I have a Facebook album of photos I recently took inside the LACH – no wonder they were proud of it! http://bit.ly/LACityHall-AUG2017
