Description
Photograph of a cable-car making its way along Pasadena Avenue north of Sycamore Grove the day the line opened, 1880-1890. Dry natural clay has made rubble in a mound at the left foreground. Several people hang out from the side of the car, standing on the running boards. Behind a decorative stone wall, the home of Judge M.T. Allen can be seen on a hill to the right.
