The article at
http://www.squareone.org/HPS/ also included this.
The 5400 building is at upper left, but I'm unsure where the building at upper right was located.
The article describes it as....."the newly acquired resident apartment." -but didn't include an address.
And the house at lower right?...."the annex was a
house down the street on Serrano." -but no specific address was given.
The woman (I thought it was a handsome man) is Gladys T. Littell, founder and director.
