The LA City Directories at LAPL are some help. Starting with 1932, they list 440 S. Bonnie Brae as the Vista Grande:

But the Vista Grande is listed in the 1926 (as the Vista Grand), 1927, and 1929 LA City Directories at
400 S. Bonnie Brae:

The LA County Assessor says it was built in 1923. I hope that's more than you knew before!
