1926 Bend on Hill Looking NE - Harold Parker photograph

In this brilliant composition, we begin with a 1926 Auburn next to a field of crops sitting at the bend in Hill Street which follows the same path as today just south of the country club grounds.  This is a good one for doing some pinching and resizing as it is a high resolution panorama of the course.

We can see the faint outline of Professor Thadeus Lowe's Incline Railway at top left and by scrolling right across the mountains we can see Eaton Canyon before the side of the range drops into Sierra Madre.  The trees sparsely populate the course and it is in a much more open and thinly populated area at the time as Altadena only has a few hundred homes and a few thousand residents. 

A street trolley would bring members and visitors up Lake Street to Mendocino and make a right and stop at the course and country club.  The trolley would then would continue east to just before the Balian Mansion on the east side of Allen where there was a turnabout and the car would be spun 180 degrees and come back west down Mendocino to Lake and on back down to Pasadena or up to the Echo Mountain incline.
