After a few commercial buildings (and Gilmore Field), today's Julius Shulman post shows an apartment building. It's the Gayley Apartments to be precise. This is "Job 270: William E. Foster, Gayley Apartments (Los Angeles, Calif.),1948".









All from Getty Research Institute

There's no address with this photoset, but the first two images shows a small sign with "933" on it. I thought that 933 Gayley Avenue might be a good place to start my search, and got lucky first time. Trees now make it very difficult to see the building from the street, so here's a view from above. The plot stretches all the way back to Weyburn Place.


Bing Maps

The online building records show that three new construction permits for this address were approved on June 25, 1947. The first is for the main apartment building, while the other two are for a 4-car and a 3-car garage at the rear. I assume that these are the original garages from the building permits.
