1940 Echo Park Los Angeles California

This 1940 linen postcard beautifully captures a glowing sunset over Echo Park in Los Angeles, with the soft silhouette of the iconic Echo Park lighthouse reflecting on the still waters of the lake. Originally built in the 1930s as a decorative feature, the small lighthouse became a beloved local landmark, symbolizing the charm and serenity of one of LA’s oldest public parks. As the sky melts into warm hues of orange and pink, this scene preserves the quiet beauty of a slower-paced Los Angeles—long before the city grew into the sprawling metropolis we know today.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
