Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of Los Angeles, looking north from the Huntington Building, ca.1904. Visible in the cityscape are many commercial and a few residential buildings. Prominent buildings are the Los Angeles High School (in the distant center), Hotel Lexington (center right), and the Barker Bros Building (center left). Main Street, a prominent feature, is alive with pedestrian, horse carriage and streetcar traffic. Mountains can be seen beyond the distant hills. The product labels of two billboards advertisements have been edited out. Still legible, they read: "Wilson Whiskey, that's all", "Owl Cigars". Other legible signs include: "Los Angeles Lithographic Co., labels, stationery, book binding, printing", "500, Lee Bros, jewelers, money brokers", "H. Raphael Co.", "furnished rooms", "5 cents, now 5 cents", "Phil[...] furniture", "Fraternal, Real Estate, Loans and Investment Co., [...]", "Hotel Lexington", "[...]rosslyn", "[...] Hardware C[o.]", "Barker Bros, furniture, carpets, draperies", "[...] d Bros, [c]lothiers, [...]5 -- S. Spring", "Geo J. Birkel [...] Steinwa[...], and other high grand pianos", "the Ang-el-us".
