Both the 1909 and 1915 LA City Directories
(available here) say 428 Aliso, which would have been obliterated by the 101 freeway. But that would put them 4-5 blocks west of the river, so perhaps the office was on Aliso but not this facility. The giant tank on the right side of the photo, with a building in front of it, leads me to believe that the Giambastiani building is between Jackson and Temple, on the east side of Center St. That would place the big building either just north of Temple or just south of it.
I will be looking through the city directory for that building on the right. It looks like it says US Metal Works to me but there's nothing in the CD that matches that.
