Gasometers of Los Angeles

1950 – Looking towards downtown LA from where the San Bernadino and Santa Ana freeways merge today, showing streetcars and Gasometers (Gas Holders) that once were prevalent throughout the city.

for more Gasometers around Los Angeles, check these out.  I know I linked to some earlier this year.  Thanks to Jack Feldman for the pic above.  He has others.  

(ca. 1950)* - View looking west on Aliso Street toward the Civic Center. Three extremely large natural gas holders stand in proximity to the Friedman Bag Company and Brew 102, with City Hall in the background. This photo was taken just a couple of years prior to the construction of the 101 Freeway where Aliso Street is seen above.
