Description
Photograph of a view of Temple Street looking west from Temple Block, Los Angeles, ca.1874. The modest one-story building of the Saint Athanasius Episcopal Church stands in the center foreground with the roofs of several other, smaller buildings in the extreme foreground in front of it. Beyond it, to the left, the first Los Angeles High School (built in 1872/1873) stands on Pound Cake Hill. The street is unpaved. In the original record, the LAHS was described as standing on Fort Moore Hill. The school, however, was moved to Fort Moore Hill in 1882 -- 10 years after it was built.
