Venice homes flooded, 1952

Caption slip reads: "Photographer: Gaze. Date: 1952-01-07. Reporter: Gaze. Assignment: Venice homes flooded. #11-12-30: Unable to reach their clotheslines due to 8-day old flood waters, made somewhat worse by the Monday-Tuesday overnight rainfall, some residents of Venice, like Mrs. Porfido Bustamante, 2428 Wilson Ave., improvise by hanging out their washing on fences. Both homes in pix have been without furnace heat more than week. This flooded section is bounded by Washington St., Beach Ave. and Mildred Ave. (triangle)".
