Wondered the same thing. The unique lighting suggests a more upscale development, e.g., Pasadena, but that's obviously not close to the amorphous Hollywood. The text and the picture state this was new 1912-construction. Hilly background with what appears to be a small new growth fruit tree grove. Hard to identify type without leaves. (
Is that an early model Whammo water wiggle on the lawn?)
Could easily fit in the Beachwood-Griffith Park area, or further east in Los Feliz - Silverlake neighborhoods. Further west, north of Hollywood Blvd (near Wattle's)? Normandy is hilly. North Hollywood?
Without the hilly terrain, it could easily fit in East Hollywood's flat lands, e.g., Bronson-Wilton. But these are
uneducated guesses. Look forward to someone nailing location down.
Notes for this more common looking lighting unit say "Encino." Mid-'30s? Wondering if the objects suspended from the arms serve any purpose. If not, low popularity is understandable.

Howard Motor Company used car lot, 1241 East Colorado, Pasadena. 1931. Once I get my learner's permit, time for a test drive.
