Clayton St. looking north to Frederick St. The tracks are those of the #6 streetcar, which you can see turning to the photo's left (west) onto Carl St. The house with the gambrel roof on the right at the top (dark colored) is still there, as is its garage. The line of billboards on the left are on the construction fence for the 'new' Sunset Tunnel being built, circa 1926-1927.
