I think the original photo shows the entrance to a pedestrian underpass on the corner. That has now gone.

Thanks for locating my two 'mystery' locations
transitfan and
HossC.
below: I noticed that there might have been an underground pedestrian tunnel beneath Rowena Ave. (Ivanhoe Elementary School is across the street)

Well, today there's no trace of a tunnel, but the building on the corner has some interesting art-deco touches (I'm not sure if they're original, or added in the 1930s/40s)

Here's a slightly different angle.

And there's a white building next door that also has some interesting art-deco flourishes.

The white building is Moby's new 100% organic Vegan restaurant,
Little Pine.
