Full title:George Akagi rents accommodations at six houses at 1936 S. Sawtelle Blvd., West Los Angeles, to families and singles--some do their own housekeeping, others use a central cook. They are full at present. Shown are Miss Toshiye Ishioka, Toshio Ishioka (12) and Kasuko Ikebuchi (8). They were voluntary evacuees and recently returned to California from Denver. This is one of the six houses. Most of them are occupied by returnees from Manzanar, Gila River, and Poston. Nearly all are employed as gardeners. Many have their own gardening equipment and pick-up trucks, and handle large estates on contract. The houses are in a pleasant part of Los Angeles within easy driving distance of the beach at Santa Monica. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Los Angeles, California.
