Description
Photograph of Civil War Musicians in a Memorial Day parade, Los Angeles Street, between 5th & 6th Streets, looking north, Los Angeles, ca.1915. The veterans are lined up in a block formation at center, facing the viewer. They are wearing dark uniforms and broad-brimmed hats. In front of them, a group of young women in long, light-colored dresses is holding two American flags and another veteran is holding a banner that bears the words "Civil War Musicians". There are throngs of onlookers on the sidewalks that line the street. There are several tall buildings along the street as well.
Additional information: The large white multi-story building to the left is the Baltimore Hotel -- incorporated in 1910 as the "New Hotel Baltimore", and still standing as the Baltimore Hotel (as of November 2016). The small building to the left, with the "Plumbing & Heating" sign is also still standing, as Anna's Beauty Supply (as of November 2016). Just visible under the banner is the Kind Edward Hotel.
Trivia: "Baseball Hall of Fame (elected 1949) pitcher Mordecai ("Three-fingered") Brown stayed at the Baltimore during his 1911 stay in Los Angeles (see: Los Angeles Herald, 1-30-1911, page 3). Other notable guests in 1910-11: Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor (see: Los Angeles Herald, 9-11-1911, page 2). Mrs. S. Jones ("Mother Jones"), another well-known labor activist (see: Los Angeles Herald, 10-16-1911, page 12). It was also where James B. McNamara was registered for one night, September 30, 1910, under an assumed name (see: Los Angeles Herald, 6-30-1912, page 2). McNamara was arrested in April 1911 with his brother John (and convicted in December, 1911) for setting the bomb that killed 21 workers in the Los Angeles Times building, October 1, 1910" -- Richard Davis, 2016-10-31.
