If I were to wager a guess that this was building a little real estate office.

Does anyone know for sure what was in this little white building?
M P, I loved the wallpaper discovery! I wasn't aware that Ciro's had a basement.
Here's a bit of folk lore.
Why was/is one area of the club named 'The Belly Room'?
"The Comedy Store has multiple showrooms, including the main stage and a space known as the Belly Room. Though nothing online explains the name for the upstairs area, general manager Jody Barton said it may have something to do with the back-alley abortions performed on pregnant prostitutes during the building’s time as a club."
The basement.
"A popular stand-up comedy club on Sunset Boulevard, the establishment is haunted by a grim history. Before becoming The Comedy Store in the 1970s, the building was a Mafia-controlled nightclub called Ciro’s. The basement, which has since been renovated, was supposedly used to torture and kill those who posed a threat to the secrecy of the Mafia."
Both quotes from the
Daily Bruin
Rediscovered wallpaper.
M P, your link to the other wallpaper photos doesn't work.
