Hello everybody.
I need some help. I want to
recover a bit of the history of Pershing Square, and I woundn't get a mess by my own mistakes, so I was wandering if anyone of you could help me. Let's see the map:

This is a excerpt of the incredible map 'Heart of Los Angeles' showing downtown LA streets in 1931. Thank you
gsjansen for share the map. The excerpt shows Pershing Square....
I would like to know what were the vanished buildings around Pershing Square.
Like for instance (I have my list)
-Phillarmonic auditorium (today a parking lot)
-California Club (demolished to make place to the Tittle and Trust Guarantee Building, I guess)
-San Carlos Hotel (where now it's located the Gas Co Tower)
-Saint Paul Cathedral (later to move out to Figueroa St, now where Biltmore Hotel is located)
And many more that I'm missing and I have no clue about them. That's why I was asking you for some help.
I'm also intrigued about what was the building before the City National Bank Building was built...(on south olive and 6th intersection)
Thanks in advance for your help.
