Description
Photograph of a bridge across the Arroyo Seco at Garvanza, showing the first cable-car to cross it, ca.1895. A group of eighteen people pose around and in front of a cable-car coming across the trestle from Cawston's Ostrich Farm in South Pasadena, approaching the U.S.C. College of Fine Arts in Garvanza. The man at the controls is named G.J. Roller. The L.A. and San Gabriel Valley Railroad, completed in 1885, is visible in the background crossing a second trestle across the arroyo. A hill is visible in the left distance.
