Here we have a plethora of history in this downtown shot: a. Steam drawn EL train at the station (check out that ornamental iron roof ridge, also known as a roof tree.)b. Horse car to the 10th St. Ferry in the lower left corner. c. Electric streetcar under the EL. The car was called a “half-open” or “metropolitan” type car. (info courtesy of Steve Myers) d. A billboard at the upper left with a bunch of hot gals advertising a show called Gay Parise. Zoom into the sign on the barbershop at the lower left!
