Description
Photograph of the Pacific Electric Depot on Sixth Street, ca.1903. The eight-story building is built in a Romanesque style, sporting arched windows and molded trim. A sign in one of the windows reads "C. Leonard, Contractor". On the street below, two cable-cars are parked to the right of a group of pedestrians in front of a collection of striped tents. Although once source quotes "Ticket office in tent on corner" a sign on one of the tents reading "Restaurant" is legible. A palm and several other trees are pictured along the sidewalk.
