The streets are busy with horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians. A pile of construction supplies and debris is visible near the intersection. City Hall is at left. The Bradbury Building is at right. Legible signs include: "A.H. Neidig, real estate", "254, Strassung & Payne, real estate", "Painting, Kal-swiming"[?], "Los Angeles Sewer Pipe Association", "Woodbury Business College", "Furnished", "Admir cigar", ..."typewriting"..., "Saddlerock Oyster Lunch House", "OK [...] lists[?], beer[?]", "Z.L. Parmalee crockery and glassware", ..."randall & Co."..., "189[...], Stimson", ..."Williams Pharmacy"..., "Standard Shoe Store", "Broadway Bank", "Bradbury". Some other buildings in the photo are: the First Congregational Church, at left (built in 1883); Stimson Block (1893-1963) at north-east corner of Spring and 3rd Streets; Ramona Block (1886-1912) at south-west corner of Spring and 3rd Streets (its south end and turret are visible to the right of the Bradbury Building); the Saint Vibiana Cathedral can be seen in the close background at left, behind the City Hall.
