The factory was bigger than it looks in the picture above. Here it is in 1953. The water tower is nearly at the bottom of this aerial. It appears that the Beelman structure was still standing in 1980 (Historic Aerials), but gone by 1994 (Google Earth).

So is the building with the billboard on 9th street or some side street (it's hard to tell without knowing the direction of the photograph)
I'd like to know if the building's still there....it's a pretty nice looking. |
I believe this is the building with the billboard. Ace Liquor is at 6015 E Olympic Boulevard. Various property websites give a build date of 1926, which fits with view from the water tower.
