In this circa 1920 photo taken near the intersection of Santa Monica Blvd and N. Beverly Dr in Beverly Hills, we can see the lily pond in Beverly Gardens Park with its original (electrified!)

But also being the early 1920s, we can also see that the development of Beverly Hills itself has only just started to get underway.

The current sign (pictured here in 2010):
