Description
Photograph of Beacon Street in San Pedro looking north, Los Angeles, ca.1910. Horse-drawn carriages ride up and down the muddy, unpaved street. To the left, the two-story Bank of San Pedro can be seen, whose clocktower reads 11:11. Utility poles are visible along the sidewalks, although some poles to the right in front of the Alexander building appear to have been edited out of the photo. A web of streetcar cables stretches between the two sides of the street. Lower than the sign on the frontmost building on the right which reads "Alexander [...]", more signs read "Los Angeles" and "Los Angeles Express". A sign in the extreme foreground to the left is partially visible and advertises real estate and loans. Cloth canopies are set up along the shopfronts lining the street.
