We're back to a single image from Julius Shulman today. It's "Job 285: Stiles Oliver Clements, Bekins (Long Beach, Calif.), 1948".

I thought this would be easy to find - well-known company, number above the door etc, but the title is misleading. I eventually tracked it down at what-is-now 2201 N Long Beach Avenue in Compton. The first floor windows have been filled along the side, but many of the other details are intact.

Here's a view from the other side. It's a shame that the building has to carry all of those cellphone masts. I suppose I should be glad that it's still standing and in use - the buildings on the other side of N Long Beach Avenue look quite run down.

ETA. For search purposes: City Shopping Center Banquet Hall.
