Description
Photograph of the view across the intersection between 5th and Flower Streets, looking east, ca.1941. A street car with number "1303" is approaching from the right in between at least five other vehicles. On the far left, two people are standing on the corner by a traffic light. In the distance there are at least four large office buildings, the closest of which has a large billboard just above street level. It has a picture of a hourse and buggy and reads "Celebrating our 75th Anniversary, The Farmers-Merchants National Bank - Los Angeles". A Wells Fargo building was later constructed at this site.
