I see it says "across from Hamburger's"
A husband could have his hat remodeled and cleaned while the Mrs. shopped at Hamburger's (advertised, at the time, as the largest department store on the Pacifc Coast
*)
oops. The location mentioned in odinthor's 1907 ad is the location prior to the Hamburger's largest department store. .
Here is the 'new' Hamburger's Department store under construction in 1907 at the southeast corner of Broadway and Eighth Street.
I'm not entirely sure in what direction we're looking in this pic.
.... Is this the backside?
(probably a repeat for NLA)...........

Hmmm, so who lived in the two large houses?
..... They must have been infuriated by the Hamburger's decision to build their behemoth
literally in the homeowner's backyards!
I would have been beside myself.
p.s. The Hamburger / May Co. building still stands at
801 S. Broadway.
