Dyas went under in 1932, and the sign was not changed until late 32, early 33.
oh, and what the hell is that structure that looks like a facade of the wtc just to the left of the seriously misplaced title guarantee building?

Thanks for posting again this fantastic photo. A lost world. I'm intrigued by one of the old hillside real-estate signs that I don't recall seeing or hearing of before...It's the sign up near the reservoir (at the far left of the photo) and looks as though it might say "Bryn Mawr."
