The directories web site is uncooperative. Assume this address would have been in the 600 Block per photo. Wonder if it was close to the current Bob's Market @ 1230 Bellevue aka Kennsington in Angelino Heights. Built in 1913.

In 1913 Ella J. McMillen hired architect George F. Colterison to design for her what would be this one-story, false front, frame structure with slight Mission Revival and Oriental elements. Peter A. Holmberg’s construction costs ran the Widow McMillen $3,500.http://bigorangelandmarks.blogspot.c...bs-market.html
