A photo of the Belmont Hotel on fire on December 16, 1887 (here’s what the hotel looked like before).  According to LAFire.com, this is the earliest photo of a major fire in Los Angeles. Belmont High School now stands on this site. Photo courtesy of USC Libraries.

Funny. We just featured this exact photo on our main website.
