Third and Hill, 1902LAPL


3rd Street, looking west, with a close-up view of a streetcar near the 3rd Street Tunnel in Bunker Hill. The conductor stands outside on the streetcar steps as a woman carrying a parasol and a young boy walk by. Edwin B. Crocker's mansion is seen above. Angel's Flight has not yet been built.
Your bucolic image brought to mind this pastel-toned slice of paradise (allegedly 1905). If one did not know any better, it looks like Walt's Kingdom in Anaheim - without the crowds, full parking, bizarrely dressed characters, and steep-as-a-funicular admission price.
