Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) Highlights: 9430 Wilshire Blvd. May-2016

Here's some highlights from my documentation of 9430 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills from May, 2016 (the site was occupied by Ace Gallery at the time). Sometimes it takes a while for these HABS jobs to be made public, but when they are, they are accessible at the Library of Congress website. Often the images in the HABS, HAER and HALS collections take years to be digitized even though photographers send in scans and prints with their large format film. These are scans of the large format 4×5 film that were sent to the National Park Service Heritage Documentation Program for inclusion in the Historic American Buildings Survey Collection.

This record is HABS-CA-1298 and the scope was 15 photographs.
