Thanks to
NCD for the historical informaion on the bank at 514 S Spring Street, and to
Mstimc for a very plausible explanation of the seating in the DWP building.

Today we have the Brentwood Savings building, as photographed by Julius Shulman in 1965. It's
"Job 3804: Kurt Meyer, Brentwood Savings (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1964".
NB. I've left out a few images from this set.
The only other color shot in the set was pretty much a portrait version of this one. I prefer the landscape view.
Even at full resolution, I can't make out what the sculpture on the left is supposed to be.
Here's the back of the building.
That's a very small swimming pool
.
And now, the interior pictures.
I bet this view has changed a bit.
A corner office.
I assume that this last image shows the first floor.

The building, at 12011 San Vicente Boulevard, is now a branch of Comerica Bank. Trees in the median prevent me from getting a better shot, but it looks virtually unchanged. There's even still a pharmacy next door.

The water feature at the back has been filled in with a small hedge.
