Los Angeles panorama from captive balloon, 1910
USCdigital archive/C.C. Pierce
We were looking at this great 1910 panorama by C.C. Pierce a couple of days ago and it just occurred to me the Hall of Records is clearly still under construction. How cool is that? Also Highland Villa stands out at First and Hill Streets and is gone in KevinW's 1939 panorama. It also occurs to me Mr. Pierce must have continued to expose film from this balloon. I wonder how many more shots are out there from this outing and where might they be.
