Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of downtown Los Angeles, looking west on 6th street from the top of the Pacific Electric building (6th Street & Main Street), 1904. Pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages navigate Sixth Street while Spring cuts perpendicularly to it. Highrise commercial buildings fill the cityscape. Both the large, two-story mansion-style Spring Street School next to the H. Arnold Furniture Store building and the California State Normal School can be seen. Some other prominent buildings or landmarks include: Pershing Square (center right), Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, State Normal School (upper center), and the Metropolitan Building (still under construction -- behind the Los Angeles Examiner building). Mountains are visible in the distance: the Santa Monica Mountains to the left; the Hollywood Hills, center right; and a mix of the Verdugo and San Gabriel Mountains to the right. Legible signs include: "Lyon-McKinney-Smith Co. / Furniture, Carpets, and Draperies. Parlor Goods. Couches. Matresses. Pillows. Window Shades. Cornice Poles. Upholstry and Bedding Supplies. Brass Goods. Oil Cloth. Linoleum. Rugs. Mattings. Art Squares.", "Masbury's Mixed Paints and Colors", "Mackie Fredrick's Co. / Acorn Stoves and Steel Ranges", "W.G. Hutchinson Co.", "Eastern Outfitting Co. / The Reliable Furniture Store", and "Brents / The Great Credit House". See also CHS-5061.
