Photo crop exposure date: unknown.
Exposure date (or window) of subject photo: 1917-1928
Subject: Photo crop of intersection of Soledad and Main Plaza. View is SSW and elevated across the plaza. Taken, almost certainly, from the Kampmann Building showing Main Plaza, San Fernando Cathedral, the Southern Hotel and hack stands at the NE corner of the plaza. Area of interest within the photograph is the semaphore device suspended from wires above the intersection. This device is of the block and tackle variety which allowed it to be drawn down or raised for the passage of wagons or streetcars.
