I ran across this interesting building at 1356 South Flower . . .
gsv
. . . in the course of doing some research for a postcard I'll be posting in due course (not today).
I can't find much about this building.
The addresses along this stretch seem to have been (rental?) residences ca. 1890-1900, with 1356 seeing "improvements" in 1906 (but 1352 was still a residence in 1913). The look of the entrance at right seems to betoken accommodation for automobiles; and indeed
across the street at 1355 was the Apperson Motor Car Company, from about 1915 to January 15, 1920; and so let's make use of that excuse to look at some keen automobiles:
LA Times, 4/15/1917; Lady, you've got a flat tire.
LA Times, 6/17/1917
But Apperson was across the street from the building in my gsv view about which I'm unsuccessfully seeking information.
