East of the Mexican Cultural Museum is a place to sit and rest after walking around the Olvera Street area. I snapped a picture of the light standards in repair. The photo of the church is: La Placita Church. It is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles, begun in 1784. 535 N Main St Los Angeles, CA 90012 - (213) 629-3101. After Sunday services, I have found good quality Mexican food in the church. On a nice day, you can get some of it to go and walk around. The last photo is the Pico House Hotel. Built for Pio Pico, Mexican Governor of California, the hotel was begun in 1869. It had approximately 80 room and at the time, was a luxury hotel. Since then it had dilapidated until it became property of the government in the 1950s. Since then it has been re-habbed, but is no longer in use as a hotel.
