Description
Photograph of parked streetcars at the Pacific Electric Hill Street Station, 1925. Street cars stand lined-up side to side and end to end in the foreground, obscured to the left and the right by some minor tree brush. A tall palm stands in the background near a telephone pole, in front of a skyline of highrise buildings. Legible signs include "Auto Park" and "Hotel Trenton". What appears to be a water tower stands in the left background.
