Postmarked From L.A.: A Trip to Central Library Circa 1926
About the Event
Imagine that it's 1926. You've read the glowing newspaper articles describing the architectural beauty of downtown’s new Central Library. The Los Angeles Evening Express even likened it to a “great edifice of the mystic East” so you've decided to make a day of visiting its charming park-like grounds and exploring the city around it.
Join us for a jaunt through late 1920s downtown Los Angeles via postcards! In honor of Central Library’s centennial celebration, vintage postcards, restaurant menus, and newspaper advertisements will take us on a virtual tour of locales that were once within a ten-minute walk of the library. We will discover how visitors in 1926 might have spent their day after a visit to the Central Library.
For disability-related accommodations, please call (213) 228-7430 at least five business days prior to the event.
