A cabinet card photograph of the interior of an office building, Los Angeles, 1906. The building depicted is the Henne Building at 3rd and Spring Street, Los Angeles. The one room office belongs to the Mayhew Putnam Company, a real estate business. There are four desks set up, one in each corner of the room. Three men sit at individual desks and a woman sits at the fourth, typing. The men are posed reading letters or manuscripts. Two telephones are placed on a table at the far side of the room, but a set of windows. At the center of the office is a large rug. On the right wall hangs Rueger's map of Greater Los Angeles, 1906. Partial view of a Brentwood neighborhood map. There is a smeared ink stain on the reverse. With moderate losses along the mount edges, abrasions, minor silvering of the image, stains and discoloration the object is in fair condition.
