Description
Photograph of the intersection of Spring Street and Sixth Street looking west on Sixth, showing the Hayward Hotel, Los Angeles, 1927. A large, nine-story highrise stands on the corner while cars, trolleys and pedestrians pass below. The sign on the bottom of the building above the canopy-covered shop windows reads "Ligett's Drug Store" in cursive lettering. Above that, on the second floor, a placard has been placed, reading "Governor Friend Wm. Richardson". Other signs include "Public Auction", "Grill" and "Tailor". More skyscrapers are visible descending into the background at right.

Description
The nearly 15,000 unique photographs of this collection contain the work of C.C. Pierce which cover the Los Angeles region city, street and architectural views, California Missions, Southwestern Native Americans, and turn-of-century Nevada, Arizona, and California. Pierce, active from 1886 to 1940, was one of the leading photographers of his day and amassed a collection of 15,000 images, including his own and those bought and copied from his contemporaries, George Wharton James and Charles Puck. The James collection contains over 2,000 images of portraits, customs, ceremonies, arts, and games of various groups of Southwestern Native Americans.
