It's strange to me that this area wasn't photographed a bit more. Across the street from the 8535 Sunset Blvd. address where Chez Paulette was located from the late fifties until 1964 was the recently mentioned and short lived My Own Place (Larry Finley) which was followed by the Jordanell Cocktail Lounge in that location, which was there for at least 4-5 years (since it's listed in the 1956 and 1960 CD's). It was later followed by the Sea Witch which there are very few photos of, either.
The closest I've come to that time frame and area at all are these two photos from Hollywood Photographs dated 1948.
This is looking west on Sunset Blvd. from La Cienega.
This one is angled toward the north side of Sunset. The road on the right is Miller Drive.
I don't know what kind of an establishment Pioneertown is, but they have a nice Gruen watch clock on the corner.
(The blade sign near the lamp post says "Records". You can see it better in the first photograph.)
Then there's this photo dated 1950: "Sunset Blvd at 8600 block" (Facing north.)
Seen in photo:

Interesting house up on the hill.
