The Los Angeles Wholesale Terminal Market, seen here from above, was a hub where produce moved from growers and rail cars to the city's grocers and restaurants. An aerial view like this shows how the market was laid out: long rows of loading docks, truck bays, and open yards packed into a compact urban site. Wholesale terminal markets of this kind were built to consolidate the trade that had once been scattered across the streets, so the layout itself tells much of the story of how food reached city tables in the early and mid twentieth century. Look closely at the traffic lanes and the order of the sheds to see how the work was organized.
