I like the little swan design on the awning.
Detail of picture above.
Here is the company's listing from the 1932 CD.

I've had a look at Historic Aerials, and it looks like the building survived the construction of the nearby freeways, although the Swanfeldt Awning Co had moved to 7706 Melrose Avenue by 1956, and 501 N Figueroa had been taken over by the Transparent Shade Co. The site is now part of the Orsini Apartments.
