Photograph of a view of Colorado Boulevard looking east from Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, ca.1910. Horse-drawn carriages make their way down the paved street in the distance, flanked to either side by Victorian-style high rise buildings. Pedestrians navigate the sidewalks. The four-story First National Bank building is visible on the corner, in front of which a woman with a parasol is walking. Signs in its windows read: "Dentists", "Dr. C.E. Burton", "Dr. H. Reamer", and "Law Offices". Utility poles stretch streetcar cables over the area.
