Torrance / Columbia Steel: 1925

This is a 1925 aerial photo of downtown Torrance.  The camera is facing due south.

The industrial buildings of two companies located in Torrance are seen here: Columbia Steel Company in the foreground, and Union Tool Company in the left center of the picture. The hills of the Palos Verdes peninsula are visible in the background. The street running south from the bottom right of the picture is now Van Ness Avenue (Arlington at the time of the photo).
