From the 1938 CD, Lionel E Kent ran a real estate business at 6022 Wilshire Boulevard, Shirley Simon ran Shirley's, a dress shop at 6024 Wilshire Boulevard, and Majestic Upholstery at 6026 Wilshire Boulevard appears to have been a trading name of Abraham Schlamovitch. The directory also lists Benjamin and Charles Schlamovitch as upholsterers - I'm guessing that they were related.

The 1942 CD lists 6022 Wilshire Boulevard as the Alan Building, and Shirley Simon seems to be the only one of the 1938 residents who's still there.

A small part of the building is just visible on the left of this detail from a 1952 photo that I originally posted in post #25076.

To me, it looks like the building's appearance has already been changed from the one seen in 1937, but I'm not sure that it matches the one we see today. The question is: was the Alan Building remodeled or replaced?
