I did a bit of looking into this Antonio Del Beato chap. He apparently was a photographer of the Mexican and Italian community. By 1915, he had moved to 200 Sunset Blvd, as shown in this listing from the
1915 city directory.
If I may ask a question of you folks who understand the old City Directories better than I do:
- Why does the address say “200 Sunset blvd h”?
- And why is “706½ N Beaudry av” under his listing? Is that the address of a second Beato photo studio?
