Following on from
tovangar2's earlier post about the area around S Coronado and S Carondelet, here's another Stiles Oliver Clements designed building. Looking carefully at the original image, I managed to read the text on the window which identifies this as the Pico & Overland branch of Security-First National Bank. It's Julius Shulman's
"Job 248: Stiles Oliver Clements, Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Calif.),1948".
And here's an interior view.

When I parked the Googlemobile at Pico and Overland, I spotted a Chase Bank on one corner and a Citibank on another. I initially assumed that one of these had replaced the building above, but then I moved a couple of hundred yards west and found it on the corner of Selby Avenue. Now a Bank of America, the building has acquired an extension at the left over the years.
