LAPL

One house on West 27th St that has always intrigued me is that of Frances de Pauw still at 1146. I'd love to find a shot of it before a 1952 fire destroyed what was apparently a large gable on the facade. The pic above is dated 1980. (Btw, the LAPL refers to this address as being in the Westlake neighborhood...don't we have some of its photo curators on board here?) It seems that Ms. de Pauw was a philanthropist with a particular interest in educating Latinas (see Google Books).

USCDL
Circa 1910; attributed to John Austin. The second de Pauw school, seen below, replaced it.
(Unless that's the old building off to the right... the addresses differ in CDs, the first at 4970
Sunset, the second at 4952.)
