Description
Photograph of Fort Street ("Broadway" after 1890) between Temple and 1st Streets looking south-southwest showing vacant lots and scrubby hillsides, ca.1874-1885. The unpaved Fort Street can be seen from the bottom right into the left background. There is a blur of horse and cart along the road. Some homes can be seen on a hillside at right, while a sidewalk can be seen at right. Weeds can be seen on an incline in the extreme left foreground. Fort Street was graded through, severing Poundcake Hill from the rest of Bunker Hill. The first Los Angeles high school (built in1872) is out of the frame to the left. The future site of the Bradbury Mansion is on top of the hill at right, once the highest spot in the city. The steep slope spilling onto unpaved Fort Street is the future site of the Court Flight incline railway. This entire location was graded down almost flat in the 1950s and now (as of March 2015) is within the Grand Park boundaries.
