Actually, your finding isn't mundane at all, let alone an ugly duckling Albany NY. Isn't this the same building? It's from the same time period. *The more I look at it, I'm not sure this is the same building. http://imageshack.us/a/img253/4152/aafireproof2a.jpg google street view below: The details of this building are amazing. It must have been a real jewel back in the day. http://imageshack.us/a/img690/2981/aafireproof2b.jpg google street view __ |

I have two images of the RKO that I would like to add to your thread, but unsure how to post them.[/QUOTE] Google Earth can help with then and now pictures. Love looking at the changes. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8321/8...172339d9_b.jpgGE |

Mixed feelings seeing the contemporary images. Remodels are not always improvements.:hmmm: Recent post - a few blocks away at 731 N Western http://imageshack.us/a/img266/8480/a...turesdecof.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img266/8480/a...turesdecof.jpg |

A 1923 ad.... The building still stands. Here are a few recent shots: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-z...2520PM.bmp.jpg Images above and below are from Bing Maps... if you move one notch north, it becomes Public Storage, which I presume is the newer incarnation: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-K...2520PM.bmp.jpg The aerial below is from Google--notice the route of the Pacific Electric Air Line spur: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6...2520PM.bmp.jpg A note on Bing Maps: After a lot of finagling, you can come up with different aerial angles. However, using Bing stopped my computer cold, so beware. |

below: Here's a wider view of the 'spur'. I've circled GaylordWilshire's storage warehouse in red. http://imageshack.us/a/img222/2733/a...vdspurline.jpg google earth In the past did this rather lengthy 'spur' continue west on Exposition Boulevard? __ The empty swaths of land left by this old 'spur' is amazing. You could land a small airplane there! http://imageshack.us/a/img641/1018/a...onblvdspur.jpg google earth So who owns this land now? The city of Los Angeles? __ |
I found a couple more images of the Hershey Arms at 2600 Wilshire. Is that a sign on the tower or part of the architectural ornament?

Hard to say who has ownership of strip. Tax rolls might provide insight. Since portions are in use and others not, it is possible for many owners/lessors/licensees. |
