Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Federal Building and Post Office in Los Angeles, ca.1910. The five-story Romanesque building is on a street corner at center. The lower floors are light-colored, while the top three are slightly darker. Large columns separate the windows on the upper floors at right. Two doorways can be seen, one at left and one at right. Statues of eagles can be seen over the doorways. A network of utility wires crosses over the unpaved street in the foreground. Several streetcar tracks can be seen in the street, and a horse-drawn wagon is at right. An ad for Coca Cola is at left. The Federal building was razed in 1938.
