Glad you got the image posting worked out, Otis. The "now" pictures look great.

After checking Historic Aerials, it looks like the American Cancer Society building was gone by 1972. I did find a better picture of the white structure on the far right (now also gone).
USC Digital Library
There's another interesting building on the far right of this scene.
Detail of photo above.
I believe that this one survives, although it's in a pretty sorry state.
GSV
I can't read the sign in the vintage photo, but GSV gives the address as somewhere around 729 S Western Avenue. Googling that address gets loads of results for C.P. MacGregor Studios, which shows up under "Electrical Transcriptions" in the 1939 CD.
