Description
Photograph of a view of Figueroa Street looking north from Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, ca.1927. A paperboy dressed in light-colored clothing stands at the center of the street to the right hawking papers while cars pass him on either side. A second paper boy stands on the corner of the sidewalk across from him at left, a large streetlamp towering near him and a "No Parking" sign visible in the foreground. A collection of one-story commercial buildings stretch off into the distance on either side of the road behind them, although a single building to the right is large and approximately six stories high. Legible signs include: "Wall Paper / Seymour and Seymour", "The Noble Co.", "Loans", "Dr. Osterheld / Dentist", "Soda / Drugs", "Will Lease for 99 Years", "Ex-Lax", "1830 Donny's [...] Laundry", "Auto Loans", and "Keep to Right".
