Looking west on 3rd Street from Cinnabar, 1906

Wonderful early shot looking west down 3rd Street (left edge) and of the Rangeley Apartments on the NW corner of 3rd and Cinnabar Streets (Cinnabar runs across the bottom just out-of-frame). Far side of the Rangeley is on Flower Street and next corner is Figueroa. The St. Regis, at 237 S. Flower, is seen right center with the flatish corner turret, next door to the left is just a glimpse of the top of the hipp-roofed Bozwell, at 245 S. Flower, with the single cupola and next to it (still going to the left) is the Rollin Apartments with the outsized rooftop solarium at 247 S. Flower (NW corner of Flower and 3rd). Taken from the top of the 3rd Street tunnel.

Looking south down Flower Street, 1950

Looking south down Flower Street in the 200 block through the 1950 haze. Van Fleet Apartments on the left, tile-roofed St. Regis down the block on the right and just a sliver of the Marcella on the right edge. One of our Yellow Cabs headed down to the intersection with 3rd Street at the bottom of the slope.
