Court Hill

Probabbly taken in the last decade of the 19th century or at the beginning of the XX century, the view shows a section of Court Hill, another famaus hill where Downtonw Los Angeles got settled.

Hill. The neighborhood is still very much in its heyday. Note that the Court Flight funicular railway (1904) has not yet been built on the dirt slope in the foreground at center right. And, in case you're curious, that large, remarkable Victorian residence at Court and Hill Streets is the Bradbury Mansion (1887-1929).

Do click on the images and have a look at the enlargements. The detail that can be seen is really quite impressive.
