I hadn't realized that Pennzoil was founded in Los Angeles, in 1913. I'm not sure what constituted its facilities before the building seen above, but there seems to have been a fire in 1918, with the diaper-brick building apparently going up in 1922. A few items from the Times:
Feb 16, 1918
May 7, 1922
May 18, 1941
