What a nice view this place must have had. It’s the Roof Garden of the Elks Club, which, when this photo was taken in around 1914, was at 300 S. Olive Street in downtown L.A. This would have put it right near the Angel’s Flight funicular and the old Los Angeles City Hall (which is the tower we can see toward the left.) At a time when the streets of Los Angeles would have been teeming with people, and carriages, and horses (and all that comes with horses, if you catch my drift), this garden high above the streets would have come as a welcome sanctuary.
