Description
This circa-1935 photograph captures a boxing match at the L Street Arena, located at 223 L St. Officiating legend Fred Bottaro tends to the match, while an unidentified bystander looks toward the camera. At the time this photograph was taken, matches typically were held every Friday, except in the summer. Mid-1930s tickets were 25 cents for gallery seating and $1 for ringside access. The arena closed in the mid-1940s and was converted back to warehouse use.
