Map from Silver Lake Terrace flyer showing the development just below the dam at the southern end of the Silver Lake Reservoir. The rest of the flyer is too faint to reproduce on this web site, but some of the statements quoted from the flyer are still valid today:

	""Where have I been that I did not know of this beautiful locality?' is the question that comes involuntarily from scores of people who visit Silver Lake Terrace."
	"Skilled engineers and landscape artists have located the drives, parkings, boulevards and hillside homesites, preparatory to making it one of the most beautiful residential sections in Los Angeles."
	"Build here and you will be assured of a quiet, restful home place just around the corner from the city's busiest section and a community of homes of the best character."
