Description	A nighttime view, looking south down Spring Street, showing the intersection with First Street. Several electric trolley cars run down the center of the street. The streetcars in the foreground are marked "Hollywood" and "Griffin Ave." Also on the street are several horse-drawn carts and carriages and crowds of pedestrians.
Historical Background	Around 1910, many of Los Angeles' financial institutions, which had previously been scattered throughout the downtown area, began relocating to Spring Street so that it came to be known as the "Wall Street of the West." It was Los Angeles' original financial district, housing many of the city's banks, title and trust companies, and the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, which opened in October, 1929. Spring Street was also home to one of the first street railways in Los Angeles established in 1874. Between 1900 and 1910, it gave way to the electric trolley system developed by Henry E. Huntington.
