Hill Street entrance to the Second Street tunnel under construction, Los Angeles, ca.1920

A ditch filled with lumber stands in the foreground, quickly meeting an archway under which an automobile can be seen parked. A small workman's shack has been erected to the left, and scaffolding lines the street on the bridge above and the road leading up to it on the left side.

Two men in suits stands amidst the building materials at the right side of the ditch. Highrise buildings and an inclined street can be seen in the background.
