Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
View of 7th Street, west from Hill Street. The prominent building on the right corner is the Pantages Theatre; its large marquee is advertising the Ritz Brothers movie "Marriage License". The theater was designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca, and opened on August 16, 1920. Directly behind the Pantages is the Los Angeles Athletic Club, built in 1911 by Parkinson & Bergstrom. This building was notable at the time for being the first in Southern California to have a swimming pool on an upper floor. Other historical buildings visible in this photograph are: The Brack Shops, built in 1914; Union Oil Building and Roosevelt Building, both built in 1922 by Curlett & Beelman; the Real Estate Building; and The Brockman Building, built in 1911 by Barnett, Haynes & Barnett. Crowds of people and numerous cars and trolleys can be seen lining the streets and sidewalks.
