In Compton’s Backyard – Angeles Abbey Cemetery – October 2014

With Bob Williams back for a visit, we continued our ongoing series – In the Backyard. Or, according to some of our friends you found that where????

This trip took us to the middle of Compton CA for a visit to another LA landmark – Angeles Abbey Cemetery. Angeles Abbey was built in 1923 and features Byzantine, Moorish and Spanish architectural styles. (Or at least what passes for Byzantine, Moorish and Spanish architectural styles in 1920's Los Angeles.)

While most of the crypts were locked, we were able to enter one that was open to the public.
