I remember there were still big, old frames houses on Beaudry across the Harbor FWY from DTLA in the 70's. Some got moved and the rest were cleared.

It was made by Renshaw Litho in 1884.
Pearl St was later Figueroa and Diamond and Court St are still with us, as are Depot, Bunker Hill, Yale, Cleveland and College, but I didn't know there were two Beaudrys or a completely different Figueroa. I'm getting extremely lost looking at this.
I understand Beaudry's Tract 2 was over in what's Chinatown now, but the Park Tract is a bit harder, even though Temple and Pearl are clear enough.

This is awesome. I suppose the Rochester was part of the Park Tract. There is a great article about it at Big Orange Landmark. Apparently it was to be moved from Temple St. to the Plaza, but the Victorian style didn't fit into the Stearling-esque Plaza.
