I found the picture below on the USC site a couple of weeks ago. At the time they had it labeled as "Birdseye view of an unidentified building within the Central Manufacturing District". I think the reason they'd failed to identify it was because the image was inverted and the main building looked black. As soon as I'd flipped it I could see it was the building now known as The Citadel.

Here's a closer look. I don't see any U.S. Tires signage, so this must be a 1930 picture of the Samson Tire and Rubber Company. I contacted USC, and they've now updated the description and inverted the image.

Behind the tire factory is the Crane Pipe Warehouse and Dipping Plant.
