but I could only find the White Company undertakers at 1137 S. Grand Ave. in numerous 1920s directories (see below)

This would have been several blocks due east of where today's Stables Center is located.

In the same directory I found Wallace White's home address as 1209 3rd Avenue.
I thought, hmmmm...maybe they took the photograph in front of his house!

Here's 1209 3rd Avenue and neighbors.

Alas....it was close but no cigar.
