Harnessing mule power to build the University of California, Westwood, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1928 |

Harnessing donkey power to build the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1928 In the late 1920s, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) moved from its original location on Vermont Ave to an area known as the Wolfskill Ranch in what is now called Westwood. In this photo, dated 1928, we can see the builders harnessing mule power as they build Dickson Court at the heart of the campus. On the right we can see Royce Hall and on the left is the Powell Library, but there’s not much else!
