Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of San Pedro looking north towards Wilmington from Beacon Street, ca.1903. The buildings to the left obscure much of the unpaved street, along which a streetcar can be seen making its way to the right. The clock tower of the bank can be seen in the background, while the shipyard and Port of Los Angeles can be seen over more buildings to the right. The Peck & Anderson Real Estate building is also visible to the left.
