M.L. Cohen included this glass negative in his box labeled "Airport 1928". In the 1920s, California had more airports than any other state. The Oakland Municipal Airport was seen as the gem of all of the California airports. This photo is of the administration building. Our vantage point in this photo is of a guest coming to the airport not on a plane. The building is clearly labeled "Administration Building". There is also another sign which is located at the left hand side of the photo. It is a sign above a door that says "U.S. Post Office Air Mail". We are looking on this building at an angle which allows us to see the side of the building. To the right of the building there is gate where on-lookers stand. There is a man standing by himself. And then there is what looks like a family, a man and a woman. The woman is holding a toddler who is excited by what he or she sees that unfortunately we are unable to see because it is out of the view of the photo. Where they are standing there is a little "no parking" sign.
