[QUOTE=HossC; Following [URL="http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=6683840&postcount=23024"]MichaelRyerson's very detailed and informative post about the 4th Street cut[/URL], here are a couple of extra images.

This one is simply titled "4th Street cut." The camera was somewhere near to Grand Avenue, looking roughly west along 4th Street towards the Harbor Freeway. Just behind the "Smith's" sign on the white wall is the southern end of Bunker Hill Avenue, and the large building on the left is the Barbara Worth on Hope Street. The picture is dated 10/15/54.

HossC - I love this photo and I'm not sure why. I guess it gives you the feeling of just being dropped off at a random street corner in 1954 and given the chance to take a look around.
