Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of North Figueroa Street, looking south from Spruce Street, showing the initial stages of street improvements, November 1935. The initial stages of two dirt lanes sit at the center of the image, bordered on either side by dirt hills. Two single-story buildings with pitched roofs sit in the left centerground, along with two automobiles and piles of beams. A track with wooden ties runs parallel to the right lane of the site; a staircase leads to the track from the ground level of the buildings. The hazy skyline of downtown sits at the background, with City Hall in the center of the image.
