Description
Photograph of Pacific Avenue looking south in Redondo Beach, showing the American Bank Building, ca.1924. Early automobiles make their way up and own the two-lane Pacific Avenue at center, in which streetcar rails can be seen embedded. To the left, a man sleeps in one of a number of cars parked along the street, two in from the bottom. To the right, the tall romanesque building of the American Bank Building is visible. In the distance, the spire of a what may be a church and the roofs of what appear to be more residential buildings can be seen. Legible signs from left to right include: "[...] LaDue Furniture Store", "Photos -- Framing", "Auto Parking", "For Rent" and "Martinello's".
