It’s set off the street which would also coincide with the street-level photos and the large “serve yourself” sign seen in the pictures, along with the pay station booth.

Here's a larger version of the area near the word "Beverly" in my earlier aerial. It's dated at 1948, which ties in nicely with
GILMORE's build date. I think it's also visible in the 1952 aerial, but the image is considerably more blurry.
