Aerial photograph looking northwest across Beverly Hills from Preuss Road, Los Angeles, 1926In this remarkable aerial photo, we’re looking northwest from Preuss Road across to Beverly Hills in 1926. Without the distraction of homes, swimming pools, gardens, trees, stores, buildings, and everything else that blankets the L.A. cityscape these days, it’s a lot easier to see how clearly and cleanly the street grid was mapped out.

This 2021 satellite photo of roughly the same area shows how built up is now.

    I have a large framed real estate ad, roughly 18″ x 24″, showing an arial perspective of a similar area. The Hollywoodland had not been built and Santa Monica Boulevard is called Kings Road. It’s one of my favorite possessions.
