Description
This 1956 photograph shows the west side of J Street, between Second and Third streets. Businesses include the Red Front Shoe Shop at 206 J St., Hop Wo Laundry at 212 J St., and the Jamall Hotel at 208 J St. The Jamall was set in the original H.S. Crocker Building, built in 1868 and housing the native New Yorker’s printing business. All the pictured buildings were torn down by June 1970 to make room for a $16.2 million section of the new Interstate 5. Notice the 5-cent Coca-Cola advertisement on the flank of the building to the far right of the frame.
