Was not aware that the lifeguards were a precursor to the Coast Guard. For more on the LA Lifeguard lineage >> http://www.fire.lacounty.gov/Lifeguards/WhoIsHistoryByDecade.asp
The primary feature of the second card (above) may be Normandy-inspired, but the smaller structure without the parapets, to the left, seems ahead of its time - i.e., bearing elements that appear strikingly "streamlined" and "modern."
