Misidentified in the archives as "View of Marchessault Street in Los Angeles's Chinatown, looking west towards City Hall, November 1933" We know you couldn't have a view of City Hall looking west on Marchessault Street. This is Olvera Street looking south and judging from the decrepit condition of the street much earlier than 1933, perhaps 1927-8. We can pick out the Pelanconi House which would become the La Golondrina café in 1930 here on the right before the paint brushes and outside seating. Up the street on the right is the back of the Simpson building which faces the Plaza. Great early shot of this iconic street.

Hi MR; the building in the center is the rear of the Sepulveda House.
Here's the same view from the opposite direction.
