Birdseye view of Olive Street looking south from Fifth Street, Los Angels, ca.1906

Wheel tracks are visible in the unpaved Olive Street. In the foreground to the left, an eight-story building is outlined by scaffolding with debris below.

To the left, what appear to be several different church spires are spaced at regular intervals above residence-style buildings. A patch of trees is visible further in to the left, flanked by utility poles. Highrises sporting several indefinite signs are visible in the distance to the left, one reading "Hotel".
