Bell cast by Paul Revere's apprentice George Holbrook for the Los Angeles Plaza Church, ca.1900

Photograph of the bell cast by Paul Revere's apprentice George Holbrook for the Los Angeles Plaza Church, ca.1900. It is sitting on a wooden bench[?] in a paved courtyard at the Plaza Church. Another smaller bell is in the background. A rake[?] lays in the circular cutout in which a small tree grows in the background.; "Across the street from the Plaza and to the west is the Old Plaza Church (535 Main St.), first established in 1784 as a chapel. The oldest religious structure in Los Angeles, this 1822 building is also known as the Church of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels. Originally built as a simple adobe by Franciscan Padres with the labor of local Native American Indians, it took an additional 40 years to construct the whole church. This Catholic Church now features some fine modern additions, including a tile mosaic of The Annunciation, created by artist Isabel Piczek in 1981. The interior displays ornate designs of wrought iron and gold leaf. A collection of religious canvases adorn the alter, and murals grace the ceilings. Today, Our Lady Queen of Angels serves as an active church of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles." -- unknown author.

本照片拍摄于约1900年，内容为保罗·里维尔（Paul Revere）的学徒乔治·霍尔布鲁克（George Holbrook）为洛杉矶广场教堂铸造的铜钟。该钟放置于广场教堂一处铺砌庭院内的木质长椅（标注存疑）上。背景中可见另一枚尺寸更小的铜钟；背景里一处带有圆形镂空的区域内生长着一棵小树，一把耙子（标注存疑）置于该镂空处。
广场街对面西侧即为老广场教堂（主街535号），其最初于1784年以小礼拜堂的形式设立。这座1822年完工的建筑是洛杉矶现存最古老的宗教建筑，亦被称为天使之后教堂。最初由方济各会修士借助当地原住民的劳动力修建为简易土坯建筑，后续又耗时40年方才完成整座教堂的建造。如今这座天主教堂新增了多处精美现代装饰，其中包括艺术家伊莎贝尔·皮切克（Isabel Piczek）于1981年创作的《天使报喜》瓷砖镶嵌画。教堂内部可见华丽的锻铁与金箔装饰设计，祭坛上陈列着多幅宗教油画，天花板上则点缀着精美壁画。时至今日，天使之后教堂仍是洛杉矶总教区的一座活跃堂区。
