Before Brownstein-Louis moved to 716-722 S. Los Angeles, they were located a few blocks away at 236-238 S. Los Angeles. The picture below shows their
building on the right. USC dates the photo at 1910.
USC Digital Library
A close-up shows that the name "Newmark" still appears on the sign.
Detail of picture above.
The 1909 CD shows the company as Brownstein, Newmark & Louis, but by 1911 it has become Brownstein-Louis Company, this time at 236-240 S. Los Angeles (I guess they expanded, hence the need to move). The 1915 CD shows them at their new address.

I found
a site with an even earlier picture of Brownstein, Newmark & Louis, back when they were in the Baker and Arcadia Blocks (the lower right picture shows the
building at the 236-240 S. Los Angeles address). The site is in Japanese, but Google Translate does enough to tell me that the pictures say it all!

In 1898, their address was given as 344-346 N. Main.

The
e-workers article also has this picture of the completed store/factory at 716-722 S. Los Angeles.
