it certainly does appear that the Los Angeles Public library is updating their digital collection with previously unseen photographs
i don't think this 1905 image looking west on third street across hill street towards angels flight had been previously posted. it's a great shot taken before the track was elevated to clear clay street. The McCoy house is still located at the north west corner of the 3rd and hill prior to being relocated up the hill to clay street

and i don't think either one of these have been posted either..........view looking north from the porch of 215 n. hill street towards temple street down at the north portal of the hill street tunnel (as previously noted, 215 n. hill street is burt lancaster's family home in criss cross)

i don't ever recall seeing a color image of angels flight on the LAPL site before..............this image is probably no later than 1966 as the fire escape for the McCoy house is visible on the far right. (Palace hotel/casa alta on olive street is visible in the upper left)

Looking straight up angels flight in it's last waning days, (notice the "hip" supergraphic font used on the sign, trying to give the little railroad an updated groovy image)
