Vine and Selma, looking north at dusk (1950s)

"
As has been pointed out in the comments, the building on the right was the Hollywood Brown Derby, the second of four locations, which opened at 1628 Vine St. In 1929 (three years after the original Wilshire location opened). The Beverly Hills location opened in 1931, at the corner of Wilshire and Rodeo, and the Hillhurst location opened in 1940. Out of all of these, only the Wilshire location was built for the restaurant. The other three locations all took over existing structures."

Speaking of what I consider to be lost treasures of L.A. This photo reminded me of one of my many heartbreaks. What I knew as Molly's at the corner of Selma and Vine. SMH. And seeing what they replaced it with. *sigh*
