Description
Photograph of a view of Palm Avenue in Highlands looking north, ca.1900. To the left, a horse-drawn carriage is visible, hitched to one of the utility poles that line the unpaved road. One- to two-story brick commercial buildings can also be seen to the left along the road, just in from the sidewalk, while an additional commercial building can be seen to the right, standing on its own. Farther back, a rail road crossing can be seen. In the distance, mountains are visible. Legible signs from left to right include: "Real Estate", a clock that shows the time to be forty-five mintues after three and reads "Kunzman and Brown", "The Los Angeles Times for Sale Here", "Insurance", "Local Long Distance Telephone", "Hardware", "Singer Sewing Machines", "Rail road Crossing" and "Highland [...]".
