Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of Sixth Street looking west from Spring Street, Los Angeles, 1904. The street stands to the left, stretching towards the horizon from the bottom of the photo, populated with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages. Tall two- to four-story victorian-style business buildings line it to the left and right. To the extreme right, the large, two-story mansion-style Spring Street School can be seen next to the H. Arnold Furniture House that advertises "Mattings, Linoleum & Rugs". Mountains are visible in the background. The California State Normal School can also be seen. Legible signs include: "Mackie Frederick's / Acorn Stoves and Steel Ranges", "Mayberg Bros.", "W.G. Hutchinson Co.", "[...]Masbury's [...]missed Paints and Colors", "Drug Store" and "Glencarry".
