Lkg S. above block bounded by Main, Spring, First, and Second Streets, 2005 (00063139)
Close-up view of the CALTRANS demolition on 1st street between Main and Spring streets in Downtown Los Angeles. Two Cleveland Bros. brand backhoes can be seen piling up debris, and a third seems to be "scooping off" more debris from the exposed building. A backhoe is a piece of excavating equipment consisting of a digging bucket on the end of an articulated arm (also called a stick or dipper). Close-up of photo 00063136. Photo dated: August 16, 2005.

"Construction of the five-story building began in 1941 but came to an abrupt halt when the United States entered the war. The building was finally finished in 1949."
