![Exterior view of the Wilcox Building on the southeast corner of Spring Street and 2nd Street, ca.1905 Photograph of the exterior facades of the Wilcox Building, located in Downtown Los Angeles, on the southeast corner of 2nd Street (left, eastbound) and Spring Street (right, southbound) ca.1905. The building stands five-stories tall (plus basement). The roof has a concrete balustrade and a flagpole. There are two narrow balconies visible, one on the corner (center), and one on the right side of the building above the large arched Spring Street entrance. The streets are bustling with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Horse drawn carriages and streetcars can be seen on the streets. The bell tower of Saint Vibiana's Cathedral can be seen at left.

The Bryson Block and Hollenbeck Hotel were "more flamboyant neighbors." After extensive damage during the Sylmar Earthquake in 1971, its upper four stories were demolished, leaving only the basement and the unrecognizable stripped facade of the ground floor.
