Alhambra , CA United StatesSome people say that history can serve as a mirror, so that we may see ourselves more clearly. In this manner it can also project the future for us.
The Source dug through the USC Digital Library to compile some photos showing Alhambra from the 1920s to the 1950s. We found some intersting sights, including photos of Alhambra High School and the events that took place there, such as a “Neighbor Queen Contest” and a cake baking contest. The photos also show different roads and homes in the city. We will be presenting more historical photos of Alhambra in the future. If you have interesting photos of Alhambra from the past, please share them with us. Email them to editor@alhambrasource.org
