Title Birdseye view over Broadway looking south from Court House Hill, Los Angeles, 1860

Description Photograph of a birdseye view over Broadway looking south from Court House Hill, Los Angeles, 1860. Broadway runs unpaved down the center of the image to the left, lined to either side by craftsman-style residences. Several other residences are visible in the foreground on the corner Broadway makes with 1st Street to the right of center, where there appears to be a sharp drop into a ditch of some sort. A large hill is visible in the background to the right.
