Description: Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA - West Adams Street - Palm Drive: These are the Longstreet (now West Adams Street) palms which I've written about previously. Planted circa 1875, the 23 Longstreet palms that remain today are quite possibly the oldest living things in Los Angeles. These trees have a continuous documented photographic history which alone affirmatively attests to their great age. These palms actually began life during the Civil War, almost a century and a half ago. The clock tower was removed to Brockman's estate in Glendale. Between 1880 and 1925, West Adams was a fashionable neighborhood for the very wealthy, and many of Los Angeles' finest architects designed homes there. During the 1950s and 1960s, the construction of the Santa Monica and Harbor Freeways resulted in the destruction of many historic buildings, but in the 1990s, three areas of West Adams were designated as Historic Preservation Overlay Zones by the city of Los Angeles, preventing further destruction. This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition, but there is edge wear and some corner creasing. Published by Western Publishing & Novelty Co. Los Angeles, Cal. No. 867.
