This is a 1940 C.T. Art-Colortone vintage postcard from my grandparents' collection. It was published by the Western Publishing & Novelty Co. of Los Angeles, California. The postcard shows the William Mulholland Memorial Fountain.
Transcription from back of postcard:
The William Mulholland Memorial Fountain is located at the junction of Los Feliz Boulevard and Riverside Drive at the entrance to Griffith Park. It was erected in commemoration of a life devoted to Civic Development, the building of the Los Angeles aqueduct, and his service with the Metropolitan District.The blog, Big Orange Landmarks, has a blog post about the William Mulholland Memorial Fountain. There are several photos of this beautiful fountain in this blog post. If you'd like to check out the photos, click HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!

Did it actually have colored lights at night? I bet it was pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
DeleteI've never seen this fountain in person, but the pictures on the link I provided does show it with different colored lights at night. It looks really beautiful!
