Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Los Angeles, looking west down Fifth Street and Sixth Street from Fremont Avenue, ca.1925. A wide highway cuts down the center of the image, forking into three streets at the center of the frame and opening out into a parking lot at left. In the lower lefthand corner, the four-story building of the Hotel Knickerbocker can be seen, while past some Victorian-style houses to the right, a wide area of cleared lot is visible. Farther up towards center and to the left, a two-story craftsman-style house sits incongruously among a collection of high rises. To its right, the Leigh Apartments and Harbour Apartments buildings can be seen. Farther back, the Commodore Hotel can also be seen.
