Description
Photograph of landscaped Los Angeles Plaza and mission with streetcar in the background. The grassy plaza is nearly circular and has a sidewalk going around its periphery. Separating the sidewalk from the lawn is a wrought iron fence. Other walkways and trees (some quite large) are located in the plaza itself. The Mission is in the background. A few other buildings are visible: principally commercial in foreground and dwellings in background. A hill rises behind the scene. A vehicle can be seen in the street surrounding the plaza. The Vickrey-Brunswig building (built in 1888) can be seen between Pico House and the tree. Legible signs include: "Groceries".
