Pasadena Photo Drama
A photograph taken along the Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena,
near Los Angeles, California, c. 1914. Colorized by Leroy.
Thankyou for posting this Leroy. Colorisation brings it to life. The Photodrama is something that I am personally absolutely captivated with. No doubt , many others are also. Ray S.
To my knowledge this was never published elsewhere. As I understand it the image was on sale as an original photograph on eBay. From that listing it was extracted and color added.
Thank you for sharing. I am particularly interested in theocratic history near this location. CT Russell gave a talk at the nearby Clune's Auditorium at one point. Watchtower June 15, 1913 p.219
Is there any indication on the photo that indicates this is from Pasadena?
Though, without doubt this is Pasadena as the streets "Colorado" and "Los Robles" are in this city and it is a main thoroughfare.
