I happened upon this amazing photograph yesterday on eBay that was taken on the roof of the Frank Wiggins Trade School in 1935.

I especially like that we get a look at the surrounding area as well.

The Frank Wiggins building is still there but extensively fucked up remodeled. All the windows are covered over! Go to this old post to see it. . .

Southeast corner of Venice and Olive.

It looks like one of those monolithic bunkers in Berlin during WWII.





Here's a reminder of what it used to look like.


usc or ucla archive

I wonder if the outer layer that covers up all the windows could be removed someday...(possibility, or wishful thinking?)
