A quick return to the
Garvanza Villa Hotel.
The hotel under construction. (1885)

The Garvanza Villa Hotel under construction at the corner of what are now Avenue 63 and York Blvd."... KCET
A late 1886 view looking north from the second floor of the hotel.

"
The photograph shows Pasadena Avenue (now York Boulevard) passing the newly completed Land Company
building (later called Miller's Hall) and the Wells Fargo Station." ...Charles J. Fisher
So which one is the Santa Fe Station? I don't see any railroad tracks.
Lastly, here's a photograph taken from the porch of the Garvanza Villa Hotel.
Garvanza by Charles J. Fisher
"When the $20,000 hotel opened on November 1886 it was sometimes referred to as the 'Garvanza Park Hotel'. This view of the Arroyo Seco includes Sugar Loaf Hill
which was to become known as 'Santa Fe Hill' when the railroad bought out the 'Los Angeles & San Gabriel Railroad' the following January.". . . .Charles J. Fisher
The hanging plant at the end of the porch appears to be taking the brunt of the wind.
