Thrifty may have built several buildings to the same design, but I am going to guess that your shot shows the one
on the SE corner of La Brea and Exposition. We see that building in the background of this December 14, 1963, photo
looking south on La Brea after the Baldwin Hills Dam failed:

Here's the building today:

Granted, there is more space between La Brea and the building in your 1957 photo, but this 1964 aerial suggests that
the building was originally square before being enlarged along La Brea. Below I think we can see the things on the
edge of the roof that are also visible in the 1963 flood photo:
