"Exterior front corner view of the Victorian Shingle style residence of wholesale grocer Hans Jevne at 849 South Burlington Avenue, on the northwest corner
of 9th Street and Burlington Avenue, Los Angeles, circa 1890. Three women are standing in the doorway. Samuel and Joseph Carter Newsom were the architects.
The house was finished in 1887 at a cost between $10,000 and $12,000." - ozfan22 |
As
oldstuff once noted, by 1920 the Jevnes had moved to 910 S. San Rafael Avenue, Pasadena:

I'm guessing (what's now) Chavez and New High, b/c gas station, but the roads are so reconfigured it's hard to tell:

On the
MFAH copy signed and titled by the artist, it says "City Hall, Los Angeles 1956", nothing else.

FWIW, this says the statue was "in the middle of Sunset Blvd":
Los Angeles Plaza, Sacred and Contested Space, Wm David Estrada
And this 1937 Herman J. Schultheis shot (looking west) does make it look as though it's out in the road
(there is a traffic island in the historic shot above. I can't tell if the statue is on it.):

LAPL also says Sunset and Broadway.

And there's still a traffic island in approximately the same place. So, looks like a possibility (but it's not "Sunset & Broadway" like the libraries say):
