Panoramic view of the Los Angeles Plaza, looking west, ca.1905
Photograph of a panoramic view of the Los Angeles Plaza, looking west, ca.1905. The F.W. Braun Building, Plaza Catholic Church, and shops along Main Street are visible in the background. Men are sitting, standing or moving about near the church, plaza and along Main Street. An electric streetcar is passing on Main Street carrying about a dozen passengers. Rocks and other forms of debris litter the dirt road. Utility lines and utility poles run along the streets.; CHS-5081.1: Legible signs include: "F.W. Braun & Co.

The first plaza of the pueblo had been located to the southeast, close to the Rio Porciuncula (Los Angeles River). When the river flooded, the pueblo was moved to higher ground. Shortly after the dedication of the plaza church in December 1822, the plaza's location was changed again to the present site." -- unknown author, 2001.
