UCLA identifies this photo as looking south on New High Street at the back of the (1850s) city jail, with the team of oxen
at right heading up (west) Franklin toward Fort Street. But I compared the UCLA pic to the c. 1869 Rendall panorama at
USC, and I eventually figured out that this undated UCLA photo looks south on New High toward Temple, not Franklin,
which was one block south.
The Temple Clocktower Courthouse is at the top center. Just to the left of the oxen -- which are on Temple, not Franklin --
there is a two-story building with what appears to be an angled drainpipe on its west wall, just below the roof:

In the east-facing section of the Rendall photo below, 18 is New High Street, 8 is St. Athanasius Church on the SW corner
of New High and Temple Streets, 16 is the southern part of the Temple Block, and 20 is the Temple Clocktower Courthouse.
Number 12 is the
Allen Block, on the SW corner of Spring and Temple, with that same angled drainpipe on its west wall:
