Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Los Angeles County Court House to the southwest, 1898. It was built in 1888, demolished in 1933, and was located on the south side of Temple between Broadway and Spring Street, on Poundcake Hill. The square clocktower topped with a dome rises above the four-story sandstone building. It is perched on a hill surrounded by a stone wall enclosed grassy yard. Two young palm trees lead up to the building. Streetcar rails and electric lines criss-cross in the foreground. Other buildings are visible in the background, including a building at left with a sign reading, "Chas.W.Palm Co. Printing".
