Description |
Photograph of an exterior view of "The Lindley", a Victorian building on the corner of Sixth Street between Broadway and Hill Street, Los Angeles, 1912. Fruit is displayed in crates at the bottom of the building, which sports sun windows with striped cloth canopies over several of them, and balconies. Signs cover its lower entrance and its left side. The front end of an automobile is just barely visible in front of a second, smaller building to the right, which also features signs. A high rise building is visible in the background. Streetcar rails are embedded in the road.
