|
Description |
Photograph of a view of Fifth Street looking east from Spring Street in Los Angeles, ca.1918. Fifth Street is at center and heads away from the viewer. It is lined with sidewalks and tall buildings. Several early-model automobiles are parked along the edge of the street, and a streetcar is navigating its way down the middle of the road on sunken tracks. The sidewalks are crowded with pedestrians. Several of the shops at left have awnings projecting out over the sidewalk, while the large office buildings at right have banks of identical rectangular windows. A maze of utility wires hangs over the street in the distance at center. The Alexandria Hotel is at right. Legible signs include, from left to right, "Phone T 5435 Signs", "Painless [?] 25", "Dr. Hammond Dentist", "The Express", "Rimpau Ave", "Washington St.", and "New York Outfit [?] Cloaks, Suits". |
