Photograph of a view of Colorado Boulevard looking west, Pasadena, ca.1910. 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 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.
