What an interesting and sad comparison, GW. I think LAPL's Central Library was one of the few buildings which has survived. They couldn't even follow all of the original route!

The other day, while I was looking for something else, I came across this interesting building at 2312 Whittier Boulevard. A quick Google search told me that it was once the Monterey Theatre. It apparently opened in 1939, and has since been home to a nightclub and a church.

The image below, dated 1983, is one of two I found which show the theater as the Teatro Blanquita. So far, that's the earliest I can go. Somewhere there must be a picture of the building in its original guise.
