it also positively confirms that the this image is indeed taken from the Engstrum
here is an image i found shot from the intersection of 4th Street at Figueroa looking east.
LAPL
the photo is not dated, it shows the Briggs on the south side of 4th, and then the hildreth mansion on the north side of 4th.
is that the Engstrum poking it's head up a few buildings to the left of the central library, (or is that the top of the tower of the normal school)?
this photo nicely shows that until the construction of the miserable 4th street viaduct, 4th did not extend heading west further than hope street, due to the steep terrain.
did i say wow already????
WOW!
