Great detective work, Wenders. Found these shots of the art deco building you mention below--the
Yucca-Vine Tower. It was designed by Henry Gogerty, who was in business until the '60s and who also
designed Grand Central Air Terminal in Burbank. The LAPL refers to it as the Pacific States Life Building.
It is now the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Note the Piggly Wiggly to the left of the tower.
