Description
Photograph of city street and buildings taken from the top of Angels Flight, ca.1920-1930. In the background to the right, a long city street can seen extending towards a building in the distant horizon. Several cars can be seen parked on the street, and a figures of people are barely discernable. On both sides of the street, tall buildings are seen. Three large buildings are seen on the left, and two buildings can be seen on the right. In the extreme foreground, palm tree branches obscure much of the shot. Also, part of a large metallic tower is visible.
