Also visible is the red Pegasus on the General Petroleum Building (built 1949) over at 612 S. Flower.
if you looks closely you can also see the back of the other Pegasus' facing in the opposite direction.
-hey, I just noticed the dimly lit Sherwood Apartments sign.

One would like to think the sign could have been landmarked along with the building, yes...I'm sure the owners would argue that would impact their ability to get a tenant. Heck, the Bekins sign in Pasadena was National Register and the new tenant fought to change it and won.
This slide would have had to've been shot from the 1948 Pacific Telephone & Telegraph building at 434 S Grand—if this slide is really late-50s it's before Woodford & Bernard's 1961 Pacific Telephone switching center at 420 S Grand (which we know as the building with the microwave tower atop).
Am I being all nitpicky? I do know I'm bidding large on this sucker!
