Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Prostitute sits in the window of a crib on Alameda Street. She is perched on a pillow. The crib, which was a building rented out exclusively for the transactional business of prostitution features large shutters. It is made of brick. There is a small plant on the ground just below the woman. Text from negative sleeve: 16. Los Angeles, Alameda Street. 1896. These pictures were taken along Alameda Street, Los Angeles, between Macy and Aliso Streets. Both sides of the street were lined with these cribs, and passengers on S.P.R.R. trains arriving in Los Angeles looked out of the cars on these scenes. 6 negatives.
