Beaudry, thanks for answering my questions from several posts back.
I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't know the Bradbury Building in that photo.
Anyway....
I appreciate all this information from every one of you...Sopas_ej....Beaudry.. Los Angeles Past. My head is spinning!
That said.....the map Scott posted from the Library of Congress is killer.
Are there other areas featured in that map as well?
I'd love to see them.
(Scott, I just noticed you have a link to the map...but I can't download it for some reason...go figure)
Here are a few more photos I found.

Above: My first question is.....are those oil wells in the foothills?
Also, I was able to place the following photo because of the handsome building in the lower left hand corner in the above photo. The usc archive didn't know exactly where to place this photograph....they were confused because the firemen in the parade are from San Francisco.

In the first photograph I recognized Los Angeles' first High School as the white building with the cupola on the far left hand side of the pic.
But it didn't seem to be in the right location.

I was confused until I found the next two photographs.

They moved the damn thing!
Do any of you in Los Angeles know the story behind this?
