No old shelf mark. Intended as a wall map, but folded, with street index in the surround, this map suffers from Thomas Bros. penchant for not dating their maps. Based on phone directories of San Francisco and Oakland, this was probably made in the mid to late 1920s, as the Thomas Brothers were only at the Samsone address for a brief time; this does not contradict internal evidence, since the latest building depicted is City Hall, which was constructed in 1926 (Stockton memories, R. Coke Wood, 1977, page 73, RB F869 S8 W66. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: no. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Blue line print.

This collection consists of 35mm Kodachrome slides taken between 1954 and 1972. This collection of photographs taken by amateur photographer Palmer Conner documents by street the physical and social changes of Bunker Hill during the earliest stages of redevelopment. The collection is particularly strong in its depiction of the Bunker Hill neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles during redevelopment in the 1950s. Images chiefly consist of views of commercial and residential building exteriors taken from the street, including images of both new construction and older buildings in the process of being demolished.
