A snapshot taken from one of the rooms in the Milner Hotel (late 1960s or early 70s?)

The California Gas Co. building and annex across the street from the Milner.

The photos are from a real-estate portfolio I came across on eBay a couple years ago.

I've been trying to make heads or tails of this portfolio (the sellers didn't include all the details)-so it's a bit confusing.

As far as I can tell, the parking garage in Tourmaline's photo (that I've outlined in red) replaced this attractive building (below).

In this image, the building that was lost to the parking garage has been colored in red and numbered as 1. (the arrow points to the Ritz-Milner)

Does anyone have information on this building cloaked in red?

The giant blue 'flame' atop the Gas Building.

So did this light up at night? I imagine that it did, but I've never observed it in any vintage photographs.



It would have be located here; across from the Ritz-Milner Hotel.
