At last, a Julius Shulman photoset with a manageable number of images. This is
"Job 2246: Harry MacDonald, Harry MacDonald Office Building, 1956". The set's prints and contact prints mostly duplicate each other, so I've picked the best six (IMHO
).
A closer look at the entrance.
The corner, showing the State Farm Insurance sign.
This must be the rear of the building.
A look inside the offices.
I'll finish with this great shot of men with bow ties, and one with a pipe, looking over blueprints.

The summary for this photoset says
"Location unknown. Shulman note: Irving Meyers." They can't have looked very hard, because one of the contact prints has a sign for the 5700 block of Hillcrest Drive, with what must be the 3600 block of West something Avenue pointing the other way. The avenue is actually W Slauson Avenue, with State Farm Insurance at 3633, and the offices of architects Clifford K Denman and Harry T MacDonald at 3635 (from the 1956 CD). I originally thought that the building had gone, but I think it's still there behind the newer brick wall with the three holes. The rear is even more modified, and now has virtually no windows. It's now the Peoples Tabernacle of Faith Baptist Church.

The white building on the far right of the image above also appears to be a survivor (see the far right of the third Shulman image). Beyond that is this vintage-looking car wash. Have we covered it before?
