- Description:
- Composite of four photographs. This portion of the 200 block included a Firestone tire store, National China Company, Opera House Hat Cleaners, and MacLauglin's Music Company. City Planning Division staff trimmed four photographs for this composite view. Several of the image pieces are still affixed to each other. Because the separate pieces do not match perfectly, gaps have intentionally been left in the composition. City Planning Division staff placed sequential numbers at the bottom of each piece: "C6", and "C7". Note that this composite and item 2015-06-003.V5.030 omit coverage of the Palms/Downtown Arts Theatre; it can be seen in other views including 2015-06-003.V2.009; 2015-06-003.V5.012; and 2015-06-003.V5.032.
