View 15: Panoramic view of Eagle Rock, looking northwest toward the San Rafael Mountains. Colorado Boulevard, a major east-west thoroughfare, can be partially seen running along the bottom of the photo. Angelo Bessolo's Mediterranean style mansion with a multi-tiered terrace and numerous lemon trees can be seen on the extreme right of the photo. To the left of the Bessolo mansion are (r to l): College View Ave., Live Oak View Ave., Sierra Villa Dr., Lockhaven Ave., and Sumner Avenue.Eagle Rock is a neighborhood in northeastern Los Angeles that derives its name from a massive boulder at the district's northern edge. The boulder contains an indentation that creates an eagle-shaped shadow everyday around noon. In the 1880s Eagle Rock existed as a farming community with grand Victorian farmhouses and many exquisite Craftsman homes in charming neighborhoods.
