According to the caption on this photo, we’re looking at workers laying street car tracks along what was then (in 1899) Prospect Ave but what would later become Hollywood Blvd. The project took five months and in May 1900, the first electric railcar from Los Angeles rolled down Prospect Ave. But you wouldn’t know where this was taken from just looking at this photo—there are no landmarks familiar to us. In fact, there aren’t any landmarks at all!
