Photograph of building originally located at 135 S. Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. First floor sign and awning identifies the storefront as The Big Pipe Store, established in 1882 at that location, and a sign in the window indicates that the store would be moving across the street to 112 S. Spring St in August. The proprietor's name (W. F. Ball) is partially visible on the awning. The store was also known as Ball Big Pipe Store, and later became Hugunin's, located at 406 S. Spring Street.
