Per the LAPL: "W. J. Martin stands next to the clock formerly
mounted on the old Los Angeles County Courthouse on
March 2, 1936. He was a supervisor before the newly-
demolished courthouse was built."
I've often wondered if there was a bell or chimes that sounded on the hour from the old Court House clock tower.

Were there also bells in the clockless tower of old City Hall on Broadway? And if it wasn't a bell tower, what was it for? Simple architectural adornment?
