This photo was taken not long after John G. Bullock opened his luxury department store on 7th Street in downtown Los Angeles in 1907. Bullock provided a rooftop garden for his staff to relax in while taking their break. (The garden would later be open to the public.) I don’t know whose children are seated on those large chairs but I’m guessing they belong to one of the staff. In one account I found, the name “BULLOCK’S” was ablaze with electric lights could be seen for miles in the LA skyline.
