I hope it's Ok to ask for some help in a search for a photo I am after...

I am looking for an early aerial photograph of the area around 37th Place and Hill Street. An artist friend has his studio he built there and I would love to show him what the area looked like before.
Here is the area


TIA... Steven
Hi Steven,

Try http://www.historicaerials.com/
When the map loads up, type in your search criteria
For example: in this case type in hill street, 37th place, los angeles
You can move the map around or widen the area with the slider at the bottom.
If you turn on the street overlays, its easier to find the location you want.

Here are a couple of maps: (one older, one more recent)
