The Newspaper article appears to be from
the 26 July, 1936 edition of the LAT. This 1938 aerial shows contiguous buildings between 51st and 52nd Streets.

Globe Department Stores Inc was still at 5100 S Broadway in 1956. By the early '60s, they'd either moved or downsized to 5136 S Broadway, and then spent 1963-69 at 5201 S Vermont Avenue. Does anyone have any photos (I haven't had a chance to look yet) - there's only a drawing in the link above. |
And
rcarlton posted this is 2012, which possibly shows the store covering a whole block.
