Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Army Headquarters on Sixth Street between Broadway and Hill Street on the south side, Los Angeles, 1889. Trees obscure a three-story Romanesque building. A tower extends for the side to the right, where one of two entrances is lined by columns. An American flag flies from the top. Cannons are displayed on the lawn in the foreground, and a pyramid of cannon balls can be seen in the distance to the far right. According to a number of sources, the building was originally occupied by the St. Vincent's College. "According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, St. Vincent's College was built in 1867 on a lot bordered by Broadway, Olive St, 6th St & 8th St, and was in use as the college until 1886. (Two different sources give these as the bordering streets, but an 1884 Map of the City of Los Angeles (H. J. Stevenson, U.S. Dept. Surveyor), the property was bordered by 6th St, 7th St, Fort St and Hill St) The article goes on to state that the property was sold in 1886, and the college relocated to Washington St & Grand Ave -- Los Angeles Times, June 24, 1983 / start. p. G1 / p. 3 / section Part V" -- USC Digital Library Patron, 2015-12-15. "St. Vincent's stayed at the Lugo adobe for two years. It moved in 1867 to a two-story, seven-room building on Sixth Street between Hill Street and Broadway. The state issued a charter to the school in 1869, which Bethke described as the equivalent of today's accreditation process -- LA Downtown News (The School the City Forgot: December 24, 2007)" -- USC Digital Library Patron, 2015-12-15.
