Don't want to have to reprint the entire photo spread. I have just one comment. The first church is Wilshire Presbyterian. It's still there and still one of LA's largest churches, although it is run-down and the balcony has become unsafe and is closed to visitors. Wilshire Methodist is farther along the street, somewhere near the Ebell theater.
There were several big churches constructed along Wilshire in the 20s. In addition to those two, there's the Wilshire Temple (Jewish); Wilshire Christian Church, and St. James' Episcopal.
