Exterior view of the Los Angeles County Courthouse and Jail looking west, ca.1906

Photograph of an exterior view of the Los Angeles County Courthouse and Jail looking west, ca.1906. The flat rooftops of highrise buildings fill the foreground while the gothic architecture of the courthouse stands to the left, its clock tower reading approximately ten minutes after nine o'clock and an American flag waving from its peak. The courthouse is four stories tall, comprised of two brick main buildings flanking either side of the clock tower. A second, semi-gothic building about half its height stands to the right of it. More of the city's buildings are visible in the background, stretching to the horizon. The courthouse, built in 1891, was demolished in 1935 and was located on the south side of Temple Street between Broadway and Spring Street, on Poundcake Hill. Additional information form the Pacific Coast Architecture Database: the Court House was built from 1887-1891. It was damaged in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, and declared unsafe for occupancy. Demolition started in 1935 (roof and two upper floors removed), and concluded 1936. Among the others, the photograph features the following buildings and structures: (John Anson) Bullard Block (1896-1926) can be seen between Main and Spring, Market and Court Streets; United States Hotel (1862-1939) is visible at left of upper Bullard on south-east corner of Main and Market Streets; Amestoy Building (1887-1958) is visible left of the U.S. Hotel, at north-east corner of Main and Market Streets. Additional information provided by the LA Conservancy: The numerals from one of the clock faces of the 1st County Court House were incorporated into one of the clock faces of the 2nd Court House, and were subsequently transferred to the east-facing upper clock of the 3rd Court House (opened 1959), north side of 1st Street between Grand Avenue and Hill Street, renamed the Stanley Mosk Court House. The clock is not visible from the street.约1906年拍摄的洛杉矶县法院暨监狱（Los Angeles County Courthouse and Jail）向西视角外景照片。画面前景为连片高层建筑的平坦屋顶，左侧是哥特式风格的法院建筑，其钟楼显示时间约为九点十分，塔顶飘扬着美国国旗。该法院建筑高四层，由两座砖砌主楼分别坐落于钟楼两侧构成。其右侧矗立着一座高度约为其一半的半哥特式建筑。背景中可见更多城市建筑，一直延伸至地平线。该法院建筑建于1891年，1935年被拆除，原址位于磅饼山（Poundcake Hill）上百老汇与斯普林街（Spring Street）之间的坦普尔街（Temple Street）南侧。据太平洋海岸建筑数据库（Pacific Coast Architecture Database）补充信息：该法院建筑始建于1887年，1891年完工。1933年长滩地震中其受损严重，被认定为不适宜继续使用。拆除工作于1935年启动（移除了屋顶与两层上部楼层），并于1936年全部完成。照片中还可见以下建筑与构筑物：（约翰·安森）布拉德大楼（Bullard Block，1896-1926）坐落于主街与斯普林街、市场街与考特街之间；美国酒店（United States Hotel，1862-1939）位于布拉德大楼北侧东侧，即主街与市场街东南角；阿梅斯托伊大楼（Amestoy Building，1887-1958）则位于美国酒店左侧，即主街与市场街东北角。洛杉矶保护协会（LA Conservancy）补充信息：原第一县法院其中一个钟面的数字被沿用至第二县法院的钟面，随后又被转移至第三县法院（1959年开放，位于格兰大道与希尔街之间的第一街北侧，后更名为斯坦利·莫斯科法院（Stanley Mosk Court House））朝东的上层钟面。该钟面无法从街道上看到。
