the photograph is dated 1926.
what is absolutely amazing, is that temple block is still standing this far into the superstructure erection. you can see exactly where spring street once cut through the city hall site.
for goodness sakes, they left the international bank (bank of italy) building, stand for so long at the north west corner of the site, you would think that they would have left a true historic treasure, such as temple block remain on the north east corner.......sheeeesh
