Description
Photograph of a horse-drawn fire wagon speeding down the Fifth Street looking west from Broadway, Los Angeles, ca.1900. Three horses gallop down the street, pulling five men behind them on a fire wagon. Other horse-drawn carriages and wagons make their way down either side of the street, going the opposite direction. Victorian-style high rises line either side, with a cathedral faintly visible in the far distance. Streetcar tracks are visible embedded in the road. Picture file card also reads: "Intersection of 5th and Main".
