Just the other day I stumbled across these unidentified photos at the CA State Library taken by William Reagh in 1963 and 1978, which I recognized as photos of the La France:
1978; some of the artistic detailing seems to have eroded (Wasn't a lot of that stuff stamped metal?):

1963; she'd been holding up the entrance since 1914:

It had 117 rooms? That seems like kind of a lot, unless they were mostly studio apartments:
