Looking northeast from Cañon Dr. at South Santa Monica Blvd, past the new Beverly Hills Station built by the American Railway Express Co., Beverly Hills, 1926In this photo, we’re looking northeast from the corner of Canon Drive and South Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills. The railway line along S. Santa Monica Blvd is long gone but back in 1926, when this photo was taken, the Beverly Hills station of the the American Railway Express Co. had just opened. In the background, we can see Sun Lumber but not for much longer. That’s the future site for the new Beverly Hills City Hall, which opened in 1932.

Roughly the same view in November 2019:
