Does anyone have information on Brokaw Place or the Mountain View Inn/Hotel?

The Mountain View sat on the southerly of J. B. Brokaw's two tracts in the block of Prospect Ave/Hollywood
Blvd between Bronson and Gower. Brokaw Place ran from H'wood Blvd south a block to Carlton Way, as
indicated in gray next to the hotel on the 1921 insurance map below.

A little more history on the Inn:

The hotel was rebuilt after the fire, and continued to advertise into the early '20s. Not sure when it disappeared. Given the buildings and
parking lots now there, Brokaw Place appears to have been ignored way before the official "vacation" you cited earlier:
