Description

Photograph of a fountain in an old section of Los Angeles on Olvera Street, [s.d.]. A fountain lined with large rocks sits at left, in the shade of a palm tree. Across it, a line of two-story structures appear, each with a balcony, and some with store fronts or awnings at their respective bases. Several taller buildings can be seen further down the street, at left, alongside the lines from utility poles. The tall tower of City Hall is visible in the background at center. This is the site of the first Mexican village in Los Angeles.
