Someone must know what block of Broadway we're looking at here; this photo was taken shortly before Saturday, November 2, 1907, when the St. Vincent's - Utah game, advertised on the banner, was played (St. Vincent's is now LMU):
A crowd of 5,000 at Fiesta Park saw the St. Vincent's beat Utah, 11-5. USC fans at the game rooted for Utah, "causing a good deal of unfavorable comment from friends of St. Vincent's."

P.S. Just noticed that the five-globed light fixture at the bottom of the 1907 picture looks like the one in the scrap pile in rcarlton's post #11451 today.
