A wall of tenement buildings forms the background of this corner of Ladder Street and Hollywood Road. Posters cover the walls of the buildings. Laundry hangs out of windows. Two trucks are parked in the center, and men shovel gravel from one truck into the back of the other truck. The name on one truck is "Ash Construction Co." At the far left is the entrance to the Man Mo temple. Children climb the temple fence in order to watch the workmen. This is the first of a series of photos of this area within a short span of time.
