Photographs of notable buildings and sites in the city and region follow. Included among them, on page seventeen, are buildings designed by architects Albert H. Walker and Percy Eisen, although their names are not present, and which include the Edison Building in Alhambra, built by the Temple Estate Company, and the Great Republic Life and National City Bank buildings in Los Angeles, of which Walter P.
