Description
Photograph of the exterior of the first location of the Farmers and Merchants Bank on Main Street north of the St. Charles Hotel in Los Angeles, ca.1885. The two story bank, which was established in 1871, is dwarfed by the two buildings that flank it, both of which have three stories. There are two four-wheeled vehicles parked on the street in front of the buildings, both of them drawn by a single horse. Legible signs include, on the top of the bank, "Bank of Los Angeles", on a pentagonal sign on the left side of the picture, "Cigars", on top of the hotel, "St. Char[les]", and, in the center of the picture, "B[...]chs".
