Description

Photograph of visitors shopping on Olvera Street, showing a large brick building at left, ca.1940-1949. People walk through the small shopping area at center where shops are covered with small awnings. A stained brick wall stands in the right foreground while trees decorate the street below. More shops can be seen on the left next to a large, lightly-colored brick building which waves a Mexican flag. Electrical poles stand in front of the building at left.
