Photograph of a view looking down Broadway, south from 7th Street, and showing a variety of carts, streetcars and buildings, ca.1910. Pedestrians, Pacific Electric Streetcars, horses and carriages, and Model T Fords crowd the corner of South Broadway and West Seventh Street in Downtown Los Angeles. Utility lines criss-cross the street overhead, and streetcar tracks divide the roads. A large building at right, with a corner tower with an onion-shaped roof is the Vogel Block (1893-circa 1920, replaced by Leow's State Theater); the large building with Rossiter sign, across Broadway to the left, is the Lankershim Hotel (built in 1905); the building in the extreme foreground at left is the Hotel Corona; the large white building with two flags on its top (in the close background at center) is the Hamburgers Department Store (south-west corner with 8th Street, where it had moved after leaving the Phillips Block). Legible signs include, from left to right, "Holsters", "Rossiter", "Eastlake Park", "Sanborn Vail & Co. Wholesale - Retail Stationery Pictures Frames Artists Materials", "J. Spector Ladies Tailoring", "The House of Rothschild", "Rooms by the Day Week", "Specialist in Good Clothing", "Entrance 703 1/2 S. Brdy", "Gold Crowns" and "Union Dental Co".
