View of construction during the hump removal project on Sixth Avenue, looking north towards the southwest corner of the intersection with Wylie Avenue. Billboards and storefronts are visible. The "hump" cut took place in the downtown area known as Grant's Hill. The project began with planning in 1909 and ended with the final cut in 1913. It changed the gradient of Grant Street, Diamond Street, and Oliver, Fifth, Sixth, Webster and Wylie Avenues.

Actually about 50 west of this point, but google won't let me put it there.
