Thanks, Earl..Bristolian..and Noir Noir, for your follow-ups on the California Shoe Manufacturing Co. I really appreciate it.

Despite being wholly utilitarian, the building has a certain charm to it.



I also like how the building appears to be sitting in the middle of nowhere.

Now we need to find the previous location in Venice...perhaps that building is still standing.
