Amazing work in Bell (or Bell Gardens or Bellflower)!

Meanwhile, in that upstart part of town . . . Folks at Olive and Eleventh Streets quietly did their own thing. Not much of a comparison to those mansions on high, but maybe there is something to be said for living in "1890-suburbia," away from all those dang tunnels, shooting galleries, noise from Jim Jeffries' saloon and constant construction?  (I don't recognize this photo, but the caption says Olive and Eleventh!)
1890 -
