Below: This is also a view from the brewery in 1899. Would anyone have an idea what brewery they're referring to?

I wish I could read the writing on the roof of the barn-like building on the right. It says Los Angeles.....something.
The sign on the roof of the building says "H. W. Stoll and Co. Los Angeles" They were a soda plant ( as in fizzy water) according to a newspaper article in The Los Angeles Herald of August 31, 1890 found in the Library of Congress. The article indicates that the H. W. Stoll and Co. was located at 500 Commercial Street in Los Angeles.
