Description Photograph of a view of the 8th Street looking west, Los Angeles, ca.1925. Multiple-storied buildings can be seen lining both sides of a paved road which runs from the foreground into the background. Several automobiles are visible on the road, while pedestrians can be seen on the sidewalks. The building at left has arches at street level, along with rectangular windows, some of which read, "Law Offices" and "Leo D. Daze". A vertical sign hangs from the building at right reading "Great Republic Life", while banners showing "Shriners" association symbol along with the "Welcome" sign can be seen strung across the street.
