title: Panoramic view of Black Butte overlooking a lake, Siskiyou County, California, ca.1900-1950

description: Photograph of a panoramic view of Black Butte overlooking Summit Lake(?), Siskiyou County, California, ca.1900-1950. Silhouettes of the mountain and the surrounding trees are reflected in the lake. Water vegetation sparsely covers the lake. A large boulder(?) juts above the surface of the water in the middle of the lake. Trees, bushes and grass surround the lake. A wooden fence encloses a short circumference of the lake on the other side. Utility lines and poles run along the fence.; "Summit Lake is located on the northwest side of Black Butte between I-5 and the Southern Pacific Railroad. The local story has it that when the railroad was put in, it damaged the spring which fed the lake and now it stands empty unless there is enough winter rain to fill it. A 1995 article in the Mount Shasta Herald states that 'About 1925, Southern Pacific rerouted its railroad through the area in constructing the Black Butte Junction Cutoff. All the blasting was said to have disrupted the spring feeding the lake, which now relies on winter storms to fill its depths.' A 1991 Siskiyou County Scene article reports, 'Some say the Southern Pacific Railroad, in 1926, ruined the only spring feeding Summit Lake when the company re-routed, and some say Interstate 5 was responsible..." -- unknown author.

title: View of the rough terrain on the side of a mountain, near Castle Craig (?), Shasta County, ca.1900-1940

description: Photograph of a view of the rough terrain on the side of a mountain, near Castle Craig (?), Shasta County, ca.1900-1940. Trees and shrubs cover the slope of the mountain. The rocky parts of the mountain form a butte where a trail of trees can be seen leading up to it.; "The Castle Crags Wilderness was established in 1984 with the passage of the California Wilderness Act. This 10,500 acre addition to the National Wilderness Preservation System contains towering spires, steep-sided canyons, and a few alpine lakes. Most of the area is covered by high brushfields and rocky outcrops with a few wet meadows in the creek headwaters. Mixed conifer forests can be found on the north, east and west facing slopes. For thousands of years, the Indians living around the base of Castle Crags regarded this formation with awe and superstition, rarely if ever venturing up into its heights. After a few years of gold rush in the 1850's, the relationship between miners and Indians strained to a breaking point. The result was the 1855 Battle of Castle Crags, which marked the beginning of the long and drawn-out Modoc War. The primary location of this battle was at the very northwest end of the Crags between what is now known as Battle Rock and Castle Lake. By 1886, construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad through the Sacramento River canyon was completed, resulting in extensive lumber and mining operations. Chromium mines were operating as late as the 1950's in one part of the Castle Crags. Today none are operational, and most mines have been swallowed up by the re-emerging wilderness. In 1933, concerned citizens succeeded in acquiring much of the land that became the Castle Crags State Park." -- unknown author.

title: Close-up of a specimen of a poinsettia plant, ca.1920

description: Photograph of a close-up of a specimen of a poinsettia plant with over three-dozen bracts and inflorescence, ca.1920. The bracts appear to be dry. The two leaves appear to have been pulled from the branch and artificially replaced. On a light neutral background.; "Although the poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherima) is among the most traditional symbols of the Christmas season, it was cultivated by the Aztecs of Mexico long before the introduction of Christianity to the Western Hemisphere. These plants were highly prized by Kings Netzahualcyotl and Montezuma, but because of climatic restrictions could not be grown in their capital, which is now Mexico City. Perhaps the first religious connotations were placed on poinsettias during the seventeenth century. Because of its brilliant color and holiday blooming time Franciscan priests, near Taxco, began to use the flower in the Fiesta of Santa Pesebre, a nativity procession. Joel Robert Poinsett first introduced poinsettias into the United States in 1825. Today, poinsettias are one of the most important floricultural crops produced in the United States. Grown primarily as a potted plant for the Christmas season, total U.S. poinsettia production was valued at $66 million in 1980. This represents over a 300% increase in production over a 10-year period. Poinsettias also represent a major floricultural crop in Texas. At present poinsettia production is valued at approximately $9 million annually and involves over 700 producers statewide. Because of the growing population statewide, the demand for potted poinsettias has increased throughout Texas. Although demand is highest from approximately December 10th through the 25th, there is an increasing interest in plants for the growing Thanksgiving Day market." -- unknown author.

title: Architectural rendering of proposed improvements to Playa del Rey lagoon, ca.1905

description: Photograph of an architectural rendering of proposed improvements to Playa del Rey lagoon, ca.1905. Surrounding the lagoon is a park-like environment decorated with trees, fountains, walkways and courtyards. Inclined bleachers encircle the lagoon's waterline allowing people a spectacle view of the many water activities that go on within the lagoon (i.e. boating, sailing or kayaking). Three Chinese-style pavilions (two of them with pagoda-style towers) are built over the mouth of the lagoon. Pier-like bridges support several pavilions while allowing water to enter or exit the lagoon. Toriis decorate the pier's walkway can be seen in the lagoon at the end of supporting platforms.; "The Playa del Rey area, located about two miles south of Kinney's Venice of America resort, was once, centuries ago, the mouth of the Los Angles River. But after the river shifted course to begin emptying in Los Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, it left behind a sleepy lagoon more than two miles wide and one fifth of a mile wide with a trickle of fresh water flowing to sea along La Ballona Creek. Nearly 100 lots were sold for prices ranging from $500 to $1500 at a July 16th auction and more were sold in August and September. With the completion of the Sherman and Clark owned Los Angeles Pacific electric trolley line, the 'Short Line,' to Los Angeles on October 19, 1902, hundreds began visiting the new resort. A pavilion and small hotel were eventually built in Oriental craftsman rather than Venetian style, around the lagoon in 1904, but few investors actually built on their lots. While Playa del Rey was considered a modest success in attracting day tourists, it proved to be Abbot Kinney's inspiration and served as an example of a resort that wasn't large enough in scope to attract investors or excite the public. The company built an impressive three-story, $100,000 pavilion with restaurant and dining rooms, bowling alleys and dance floor. Sherman and Clark's Los Angeles Pacific Railway Company built the $200,000 Hotel Del Rey with fifty guests rooms. A boat-racing course was laid out and a grandstand and boathouse erected on shore. A bridge spanned the lagoon's ocean entrance and a 1200-foot long fishing pier was built nearby." -- unknown author.

Both buildings are symmetrical and have portico entrances.; "Hollywood High School was built on Sunset and Highland Avenue in 1906. In 1910, the school had its name changed to Hollywood Union High School. In 1924, the school changed its name again to Union High School. In 1940, the school had its name changed back to Hollywood High School and it was used for housing and feeding WWII soldiers." -- unknown author.
