This image shows a long, downhill view of California Street in San Francisco, California. Of particular note is the cable car line which runs most of the length of California Street.
The caption states:
CALIFORNIA STREET CABLE CARS
A cable-car ride along this broad thoroughfare is replete with magnificent views in all directions. It cuts through Chinatown, part of which is pictured here.

–Compare this view to the previous posting and you will see the Cathay House again, now viewed from California Street instead of Grant. The church in the background is the Old St. Mary’s Cathedral and Chinese Mission. This view is towards Market and downtown.
The cars in the photo indicate that this picture is from the 1950s.
