History of Highland Park (& Area)...

At this link (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/10/520240.pdf) you will find Garvanza Area --- 1887, two newspaper photos of the Garvanza area.  One is an shot that includes  the conjunction of Figueroa & York and nearby sites.  The second is the same shot taken in 1959 so you can see how the area has changed in those 70+ years. The original document was taken from the May 19, 1959 edition of the HP News Herald.  Check it out.
