Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of downtown Los Angeles from the City Hall Tower looking east, about February 22, 1890. Mostly commercial buildings in the foreground and residential buildings in the background. Several horse-drawn wagons are in the streets. Many trees dot the area. A slight incline can be seen in the background, which appears to be less densely populated with buildings than the center and foreground. Legible signs include: "[...] Undertaker", "Book [...]", "[...] Royal Cafe, 44, 3rd lunch parlor", "38, Scriver & Quinn, 38, paints, oils, varnishes, glass, [...], eastern, lead, oils", "Crystal Park, fire [...] tank [...]", "Howell & Craig, wholesale grocers", "Turkish electric baths", "Orange", "27, plumbing & gas fitting, 27", and "Union Ice Company, dealers in natural ice".
