Description
A real photographic postcard of the Mason building fire, Los Angeles, March 1911. The image captured a fire and rescue in progress. A large ladder is propped against the facade of the building. It appears to be night time as the street lamp is lit. Two firefighters stand on the second floor fire escape guiding the hose to a higher floor. Several firefighters and spectators stand in front of the building. With minor fading and abrasion, the object is in good condition.
