Thanks Kevin, I didn't realize the La Brea Tar Pits were so bucolic in those years, in my mind I pictured an unimproved tract of pretty much unuseable land. But here it really looks park-like except for the oily sheen on the water which runs counter to my notion of where I'd like to have my house. As for the fence, or lack of a fence, I have to believe the process that had gone on for a few thousand years continued into our stewardship. I have to believe birds, feral cats and the occasional stray dog were caught and ultimately drowned in the pits.

Chuckaluck, There's our little, three dormer building peeking through the trees in your 1941 pic. cool.
Now I need to go back and update my flickr captions on this pic.
