Photograph of a view of Main Street looking south from Third Street in Los Angeles and showing several streetcars, ca.1918. Main Street is at center and heads away from the viewer into the distance. There are two sets of streetcar tracks running down the middle of the road and three large streetcars are visible, all on the right track. There are several horse-drawn vehicles parked on the sides of the road, and there is a bicycle parked in the foreground at right. The sidewalks lining the road are crowded with pedestrians. There are tall buildings on both sides of the street, although those on the left are taller.; Legible signs include, from left to right, "Wholesale Tailors", "Automatic Theatre", "The Emporium", "Parrott & Co. Merchandise Brokers", and "A. L. Haley Architect".这张拍摄于1918年左右的老照片，展现了美国洛杉矶第三街向南眺望主街（Main Street）的街景，画面中可见多辆有轨电车。主街位于画面中央，向远方延伸，远离观者视线。道路中央铺设了两组有轨电车轨道，画面中可见三辆大型有轨电车，均行驶在右侧轨道上。道路两侧停放着多辆畜力车辆，画面右侧前景处还停放着一辆自行车。沿街人行道上挤满了行人。街道两侧均建有高层建筑，左侧楼宇更为高耸。画面中清晰可辨的招牌从左至右依次为：“批发裁缝店（Wholesale Tailors）”、“自动影院（Automatic Theatre）”、“百货商场（The Emporium）”、“帕罗特公司商品经纪商（Parrott & Co. Merchandise Brokers）”以及“A.L.黑利建筑师（A. L. Haley Architect）”。
