A view down Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, USA in c. 1954. Along the wide street are several landmark buildings including the original Brown Derby restaurant at 3427 Wilshire Boulevard (centre right) which opened in 1926. Its roof is shaped like a man's derby hat. Behind is the Gaylord apartment building. The thirteen-story Gaylord apartment building opened in 1924, probably named after Henry Gaylord Wilshire, the original developer of this area. Some older residential dwellings are still prominent at this time (as seen left) – a vintage 1950s photograph.

It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s photograph.
