LOS ANGELES TIMES BUILDING AFTER BOMBING, 1910
Color: Black; White
A photograph of the destroyed Los Angeles Times Building after the bombing of the structure in 1910. The image taken from an elevated position catty-corner to the structure shows the shell of the Romanesque-style building with blackened walls, windowless openings, remnants of structural support members, and other damage. Mounted on both streetfronts are banners giving the temporary location of the newspaper on Spring Street several blocks away. There are some automobiles and pedestrians on the street and many people on the sidewalk off First Street gazing upon the ruined edifice. The incident was one of the most notorious in Los Angeles' history and was the subject of speculation about Socialist and union involvement. On the reverse are remnants of photo album page material and there is some soiling, yellowing, fading at the edges, some edge stains, and slight warping, but the artifact's condition is good.
