Photograph of a birdseye view looking down on several hundred people sitting and listening to a speaker at the cornerstone-laying of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce building on Broadway and lst Street, May 28, 1903. A man stands on a small stage holding a peice of paper in front of him as he speaks to the hundres of people gathered around him. Hundreds of people, dressed formally, sit in chairs forming a circular arrangement around the stage. The band, holding their instruments at ease, stand to the left of the stage.
