Photograph of a view of Colorado Boulevard looking west, Pasadena, ca.1907. The bell tower of a church can be seen to the side of the road at the right, while a streetcar makes its way towards the camera from the distance at center. Other three- to four-story buildings, including the Maryland Hotel, can be seen along the street, fronted by trees planted along the sidewalk. The road appears unpaved. Tree foliage hangs in from the left foreground.
