While I was in the Clara Street vicinity I crossed the river (in the google-mobile) and came across this building on the southwest corner of Aliso Street and Mission Road.

When I see a building like this I try to imagine what it looked like when first built, long before the graceful arches were bricked in.
It's even more interesting a bit further south on Mission Road.

I probably wouldn't have bothered posting about it, but I noticed a clue to it's original owners on the Aliso Street frontage.

Think we can figure out the original purpose of this building with this one-letter clue?
