United States > California > Los AngelesView looking southeast showing a man with a rifle standing on New High Street (later Spring Street). At center right is the intersection of New High and Temple streets. The brick two-story building at center is the Allen Block, at the SW corner of Spring and Temple. Behind it can be seen the Clocktower Market/Courthouse. Los Angeles, an extremely violent city in the 1850s, reported one death a day from fights or assassinations. Law enforcement was practically non-existent as they were often the victims of the violence.
