Description Photograph of an exterior view of the Southern Pacific Depot on Central Avenue, ca.1924. The two-story Classical Revival-style building of the Depot can be seen along the road to the right, extending into the distance. To the left, a cable-car can be seen making its way along one of the two sets of tracks embedded in the road. Cars are parked along the sidewalk on either side while pedestrians cross the street. To the right, a parking lot full of automobiles can also be seen, while to the left, a tree partially obscures what appears to be a two-story house. In the distance, the Los Angeles Ice & Cold Storage Branch Plant building can be seen as well.
