Description
Panoramic view of the Los Angeles Plaza. The adobe to the left is the former residence and occasional courtroom of Judge Augustin Olvera. The large two-story building on the right is the former residence of Don Vicente Lugo and the first home of St. Vincent's College. The Los Angeles City Water Company has a painted sign, and is visible on the northwest corner of Marchessault and North Alameda Street. The Plaza looks immaculately clean. Some of the area shown is now occupied by the Union Terminal. See also C-(2204) 4x5.; Photograph very similar to image 00008167.
