Description
“W.P.A. #25
Jan. 1936”
4 photographs in a New Deal album show construction work of rubble walls along the base of the Rose Bowl.
From the outside, much of the rubble wall tunnels and ramps around the stadium can be seen. All of it looks to be in good shape and the good use of landscaping built into the design helps hide the bare construction of the outside of the stadium.
