I need help in locating Fleckenstein's home dash studio in Long Beach. (as you can see, there's a street number....but no street name)
I'm anxious to see if 'Casa de Estudios' is still above the door. Wouldn't it be great if it was still there.
p.s. There will be more Fleckenstein mystery photographs in the coming days. (in other words...hands off my stash  )

After 10 seconds on Google, I found Casa de estudios at 1510 E. 3rd Street, Long Beach. I'm surprised how quickly I found it. It still carries the tile above the doorway

It's too bad the real estate agent's camera lens was smeared with vaseline, because this is an interesting property:

Redfin shows us it was built in 1926, has 8 units, with underground parking, and was recently sold in 2015 for $1.4m.
The googlemobile didn't get a clear image of the front door. This was the best I could do.
