I recognize the building in the background as the Amestoy Building on S. Main Street.
Here's the Amestoy in 1958 (the year of it's demise)

As we've discussed earlier on NLA, the 'Stake Out' Bar was a popular watering hole for the LAPD. (seen at lower right)

And before the Rexall Drug Store and the "Stake Out Bar" was the U.S. Hotel pictured below with the Amestoy. The U.S. Hotel was the 3rd oldest hotel in L.A. having been built in 1863, four years before the Amestoy. The U.S. Hotel met its demise circa 1939.
