Back in March 2016 I did a
post on the 1st English Lutheran Church at the SE corner of 8th and Flower and some of the
buildings on Flower between 8th and 9th. I've run across a little more information on this block.
For example, here's the church on the corner, with 810-12 to its right (built in late 1902 as a Pierce Bros. Mortuary),
and then a mission-revival building:

The next building south of the church is 810-12 S. Flower:

This October 11, 1923, photo shows a sliver of the church on the left, then 810-12 and the structure to its south being
demoed for the LA Gas and Electric Corp. building, which still stands today:

I also posted this photo; on the right, behind the rear of the boat and mostly obscured by trees, is 831 S. Flower:

It turns out that 831 S. Flower was built in 1898 and designed by

The
1921 Baist Map shows 831-33 Flower still standing, but it likely was torn down when Allison and Allison's
Womens Athletic Club, seen here in 1925, was built at 829 S. Flower:
