Also wondering when La Brea was "straightened." 1313 S La Brea is the most recognizable building that still remains. It is the "triangular shaped rhombus."


If my navigational skills are correct, San Vicente is the straight road and the perspective is easterly.

I never knew about the squigly nature of S La Brea at San Vicente, but Google maps shows the northern portion of the squiggle is still there (note my incredibly steady red line, hand-moused like a surgeon!). Also, this explains the sharp chizzled fascia of the green circled building on the left, as it would have been on the sharp corner of the street north of the crossing.
