'Flaming torches' courtyard apts. 1200 block S. Mariposa
Very interesting. Thanks for the information
oldstuff.
Here is a courtyard apartment on the 1400 block of S. Bonnie Brae that I've had my eye on for years, but for some reason or other never posted about it.
oldstuff's comment about the King Tut discovery, immediately reminded me of this unique rental.

oldstuff, could you look it up at the County Assessor's office to establish a date? Surely this was built during, or soon after, the Egyptian craze.

matches almost perfectly

below: Here is a slightly different angle, that also shows the two fine buildings to the north of the low-slung courtyard apt.

A closer view of the neighboring apartments to the north. (I especially like the twin cartouches with wooden slats for vents)

I don't want to go too crazy with the street views, but I'll add one more.
I just couldn't leave out this very nice apartment on the other side of the 'Egyptian' courtyard apt.(to the south)

aerial / you can see the long narrow 'Egyptian' courtyard in the center.

Thanks
ReDSPork02, for your help in locating my mystery building. I was thrown by the colors.
Was the Post Office Annex ever Blue? -or were the colors in my slide messed up?
