Description: The part of the city called Sonora Town was an old adobe village north of the Plaza and Church of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels. It was Los Angeles' first Mexican quarters, or barrio. The area was named for the numerous miners and families who came from Sonora, Mexico, and may have still been around in the 1930s. Now it is Los Angeles' Chinatown District.
North Broadway (formerly named Buena Vista Street) in 1895, looking north from Sunset Boulevard in the area known as "Sonora Town". Adobe buildings can be seen along the street; among them is "Branch of P. Ballade House", a saloon that was located at 207 N. Buena Vista Street.
