Description
Photograph of a view of Sixth Street from Main Street, Los Angeles, ca.1906. Pedestrians, streetcars, and horse-drawn carriages navigate Sixth Street, which cuts through a district of highrise buildings. The Southern Pacific building is pictured in the foreground to left, its fire escape descending its seven stories. To the right, a ladder leans up against the front of a building whose sign reads " 552 Mattings, Linoleum & Rugs 553". To the left of it, the Romanesque architecture of a taller building is visible over a rooftop.
