Description
Photograph of a view of Broadway looking south from Fort Hill on Temple Street, Los Angeles, ca.1926. A nine-story brick highrise dominates much of the left center of the image, with a shorter highrise partially visible further left, its fire escape evident. Automobiles and cable-cars navigate the street below while more skyscrapers line the street into the distance. To the right, a sign on a building reads "Apartment[...] / Single or Double / $25.oo per month [...] / Rooms $1.00 [...]". In the distance a sign on top of a highrise reads "Law Building", the building underneath it sporting a sign that reads "New Hotel Broad[way] and Apartments". A statue is visible on a pedestal between the main building on the left and the building further down the street from it. Picture file card reads: "See dup. Neg.: #271 ca.1895".
