Description
Photograph of a view of the Angels Flight, showing both cars and the tower, Los Angeles, [s.d.]. Two sets of rails allow the cars to pass each other at the center of the trip. At the top of the hill is a three-story tower. In front of the tower is an advertisement for a café showing the letters "café" and a hand pointing to the right in lights. To the left of Angels Flight is the Elks Hall, a seven-story square building. On its rooftop is a pergola-like structure that surrounds the perimeter of the roof. Legible signs include: on a sign above the underpass "Notice, $100.00 fine for riding, driving or propelling any vehicle faster than eight (8) miles per hour in this tunnel, see ordinance 15775", "G[...]en Villa, furnished rooms", "hotel", "café".
