Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of North Broadway from Court House Hill, Los Angeles, ca.1875. The edge of the hill is visible in the foreground, with the residential houses arranged in what appears to be no particular order on either side of the street below. The street appears to be unpaved, but does have sidewalks. A cluster of trees surrounds a house in the foreground, showing only its roof and chimney.
