Photograph of the bombed-out Los Angeles Times building, 1910. The large brick building can be seen at center and has been badly damaged. No walls remain standing at left, and the roof is missing over the building at right. An unpaved road runs in front of the the structure. Crowds are looking at the ruins. A large sign is posted saying the editorial, advertising and subscription departments are now at 541 South Spring. The image features following buildings: Tajo Building (can be partly seen in the foreground, at left); Medford Hotel (in the background, at center-left, with people looking out of two windows); a small part of the Los Angeles National Bank Building (built 1885, north-east corner of 1st Street & Spring Street) can be seen at the very right, in the extreme background and just below it the Benton Hotel is visible. Just out of the frame to the right of the Benton Hotel is the Larronde Block.
