Description	Photograph of Spring Street looking north from Fourth Street with the Barker Brothers Furniture Building visible in the background, Los Angeles, ca.1905. In the foregrond, a man with a moustache drives an early topless automobile while men stand next to him walking their bicycles. Horse-drawn carriages are visible parked along the sidewalk in the background while a streetcar makes its way up the street from the distance. Flat-faced commercial highrise buildings are packed closely together on the side of the street. Businesses include Barker Brothers which boasts "Furniture, Carpets, Draperies", Kunnel's Lunch, the Hotel Berwick, a bath and massage house, the Scott Brothers Building, and the Great Western Market.
