Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Los Angeles Courthouse from the rotunda of the City Hall West Portico, ca.1932. The courthouse is at center and is a massive Gothic building. There is a large, domed clock tower protruding from the middle of the symmetrical building, and a large curved tower in the middle. The sides of the structure are overgrown with plants, and the iron grille around the elevator is visible at center. The large cylindrical columns supporting the overhang of City Hall are visible in the foreground. The courthouse was built in 1888 and demolished in 1933 and was located on the south side of Temple between Broadway and Spring Street.
