Downtown as seen from the Richfield Building. Judging from the automobiles, the time period is the late 1940s. The Flower St. side of the Central Branch of the L. A. Public Library appears in the foreground. The library's park has been partly taken for auto parking. The parking lot would later engulf the remaining grassland. To the right appears a corner of the California Club. On the left, across from the library, is the Sunkist building.; This view is similar to image 00057255.
