View of South Main Street in downtown Los Angeles, California, showing houses and other buildings. Two horses and a wagon loaded with bags sit on the street, in front of a store at 353 South Main Street with a sign, "Ava Nursery. Northern and home grown stock." The building at far right has a sign advertising oysters. Title transcribed from negative. Date range approximated by cataloger based on the year that film negatives came into use and the latest known dates indicated for other Hazard images in the Huntington's collection. J. H. Burke was a blacksmith "whose Main Street shop was next to the site of the present Van Nuys Hotel."
