Description
Photograph of a view of the corner of Citrus Avenue and Badillo Street in Covina, showing a Pacific Electric streetcar, ca.1908. Two conductors can be seen standing on the front runners of the streetcar at right, just in front of the two-story brick building of the Covina National Bank. Farther left, a covertable early-model automobile can be seen parked along the sidewalk along with a number of horse-drawn coaches. The roads are unpaved.
Legible signs from left to right include: "Franz Richter Bicycle Repairs. The Rich[...]", "Bath", "Covina Furniture Co.", and "1.0.0.F. Meets Wed.".
