Thanks

When I first came across this amazing photograph I thought it was a hotel in Terre Haute, Indiana - when it fact - it is a photograph of the 'Terra Haute Hotel' in Los Angeles!

The long horizontal sign appears to have been white washed and it looks like the last word was "House" and not hotel.
It also appears the hotel is for sale.
The seller included this. . .

"Old Terra Haute Hotel on E. 1st St. in Los Angeles. Owned by my uncle Oscar & Grubb in the 1880s & 90s.
My youngest brother and cousins Florence & Oscar were all born there.
Ed, 1887
Florence, 1888
Oscar, 1890"
