This was very evocative for Charlie Chaplin too. I guess it is the factory we see in "Modern Times" (ten years later).

That would be a fun connection if true, but it doesn't appear to be the same one. Different streets, even. According to the silent locations website, the factory in the Chaplin film was at Jackson and Center. The factory in the Dick Whittington photo was at the intersection of Ducommun, Alameda and Labory.
