Well, according to Google Street-View, the same appearing bldg. at
205 W. 6th St. Los Angeles, CA 90013, is still there, at the corner of 6th and Spring St. Mostly vacant, it appears, but looking better and cleaner than that old photo.
The facade matches perfectly. The Pawn Shop, it appears, just moved up W. 6th, a block or so.
Note, under the window at the left, below the sign Pawn Shop, it say
Est. 1918; however, this photo is most likely from well into the 70's, by the appearances/style of the advertising signs? The color tone of the photo makes it appear much older. The parking meter out front, and the reference to "TV's" on the sign, are clues as to the age....as well as what appears to be an old style metal MasterCard sign, hanging above, near the right of the main door.
