While we're on Georgia Street, I think this building is new to NLA. According to the description, it's "The Plan Room Library for Builders, 1417 Georgia St., Los Angeles, 1958".


USC Digital Library

The 1960 CD lists all of these businesses at 1417 Georgia Street.


LAPL

The new building permit is dated 1925. It shows that it was built as a store, office, residence and club rooms by the Musicians Club Inc. The building extended back to Delong Street. The second page mentions that the building was set back 20 feet to allow for a future traffic project.

1417 Georgia Street only just survived the construction of the nearby freeway ramps (below), but couldn't hold out when the Convention Center was extended. The demo and grading permits were issued in 1989. The building with the conical roof detail on the right is the Otsego Apartments which I covered in post #18664.
