La Fiesta de las flores, Los Angeles ~1901
Anyone recognize the background structure? Looks familiar. Probably posted before but I am unable to locate it.

No, I am not identifying the flower-power horseless carriage
as a Locomobile.

Race drivers in goggles and dust jackets wait for the starting gun at Ascot Speedway. Ralph Hamlin is driving the Franklin Model H; "Greyhound" is printed on its hood. Original photo caption in Los Angeles Times reads: "Waiting for the starting gun in the twenty-four hour race at Ascot Park yesterday afternoon. In the trying day-and-night automobile grind. In the line they are: The Locomobile, Murray Page driving, with R. J. Leavitt, the heavyweight of the race, leaning anxiously over the hood; Bert Dingley, in Chalmers-Detroit "Bluebird;" Ralph Hamlin in Franklin "Greyhound," and Harry Lord in Studebaker".

Earle C. had a residence at 666 S. Berendo. Not to be confused with his estate depicted elsewhere on NLA. A 1909 Greene & Greene design that was moved to 910 N. Bedford Dr., Bev H. GW provides coverage here:
