Mission Church and Plaza from the south, Los Angeles, ca.1890

Photograph of landscaped Los Angeles Plaza and mission with streetcar in the background. The grassy plaza is nearly circular and has a sidewalk going around its periphery. Separating the sidewalk from the lawn is a wrought iron fence. Other walkways and trees (some quite large) are located in the plaza itself. The Mission is in the background. A few other buildings are visible: principally commercial in foreground and dwellings in background. A hill rises behind the scene. A vehicle can be seen in the street surrounding the plaza. The Vickrey-Brunswig building (built in 1888) can be seen between Pico House and the tree. Legible signs include: "Groceries"
