Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Los Angeles Post Office on the corner of Seventh Street and Grand Avenue, 1906. The Romanesque architecture of the one-story building sports six visible arched windows to the right wall, while showing fourteen rectangular one-over-one sash windows to the left. Both an early automobile without a top and a horse-drawn carriage are pictured on the streets, to the left and the right, respectively, as well as other pedestrians. The Post Office was moved here to Seventh and Grand in November 1904 and later moved away again in the September of 1910 to the corner of Main Street and Winston Street. The site, which was once the former cable power house, later became site of the J.W. Robinson Co. Department Store.
