I believe we may have another mislabeled photograph. (also a mystery location)
"St. Francis, Gas Station and City Hall" – Los Angeles, 1956, Robert Frank
Museum of Fine Art Houston
https://www.mfah.org/art/detail/6530...ank%26page%3D7
First of all, I don't believe the statue is St. Francis. It's the statue of Father Serra, right? (now residing in Father Serra Park across from Union Station)
And as you can see, the building described as City Hall is actually the Hall of Justice.
City Hall isn't visible in the photograph.
So where was the Father Serra statue located in 1956? (the year the photograph was taken)
I realize that is Fort Moore Hill at far right, but I can't pinpoint the exact location of the statue.
