Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
The part of the city called "Sonora Town" was an old adobe village north of the Plaza and Church of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels. It was Los Angeles' first Mexican quarters, or barrio. The area was named for the numerous miners and families who came from Sonora, Mexico, and may have still been around in the 1930s. Now it is Los Angeles' Chinatown District.
A view of the paved patio and walkway of an adobe restaurant owned by G. Moreno, which is located at 664 N. Spring Street in Sonora Town. More adobe buildings can be seen across the street, possibly stores and/or homes.
