Scope and content
The "K" Street hill climb, from Center Street heading north, was a popular place for testing both the skill of drivers and the strength of new automobiles. The steep, rugged road, impassable in wet weather, often refused to be conquered. An open car is pictured above in October of 1919 with its occupants contemplating the challenging climb while scattered spectators watch. The hill was closed and traffic was diverted to South J Street about 1960. G60.1-081, TPL-6156
