Does anyone know where the Los Angeles Municipal Dump was located in 1936?

I'm asking because of this interesting photograph I found in an old file of mine.


old file/

above: In this 1936 view we're looking out through the municipal dump gate towards a busy street. (possibly Washington Blvd?)






Here's a closer look at the attractive building across the street from the dump.



I'd like to know if that building still stands. (I can make out "motors truck co." but nothing else)

edit:

I just found this photograph looking towards the dump. (but USC didn't include the location or year)

-here's a good look at the sign.
