Color view of the Lakeview Hotel, a large multi-story building with porches and towers, set among landscaped grounds in Westlake Park. Flowering shrubs, a rustic bridge, and a stone retaining wall frame the scene. Westlake Park, later renamed MacArthur Park, was one of Los Angeles's early landscaped public parks and a fashionable gathering place in the early 20th century. A traveler's note on the card describes a California trip and sends greetings to a friend in Cleveland.
