The dirty sign hides the fact that it's actually the Claridge Hotel. It used to be at 428 West 2nd Street, just above the Northern Hotel. I'm sure someone will find better pictures, but I knew HDL would have something.

The sign is also visible at the start of the video A Drive Through Bunker Hill and Downtown Los Angeles, ca. 1940s.
