Description
"Chinese Quarter, Los Angeles," stereoscopic photograph, Lemuel S. Ellis, circa 1882. The image shows the Calle de los Negros, later Los Angeles Street, on the east side and south of the Plaza. The dirt road is lined with older adobe structures with covered sidewalks and the area was mainly inhabited by Chinese from the late 1860s. In the right foreground is a sign in the shape of a horseshoe and the name "J. Kennedy" upon it. Horse-drawn vehicles are parked or moving on the street. At the far left is a portion of the building owned by Antonio Franco Coronel, in which the Chinese Massacre of 1871 occurred. Power and light poles suggest an 1882 or later date. The title is written on ink upon the reverse and Ellis's name and address is on the front margins (he is either the father or son, Lemuel S. Ellis, Sr. and Jr., who practiced together, as well.) There is some soiling and mount edge rubbing, but the overall condition is good.
