Great finds on the Algiers Hotel gsjansen. It seems that place was jinxed from the get-go.
It's been a lot of fun perusing the brochures you've been posting. The two maps included in the Hotel Clark were great
and I also liked the floor plans of the Hollywood Hotel.

A month or so ago, someone (sorry I can't remember who) mentioned an area of 'quasi-European/french chateau' architecture
concentrated in the West Hollywood/Hollywood area (other than Sunset Blvd.). None of us were able to come up with an answer.

Recently I was looking through the 1939 street maps via USC digital archive.
I enlarged one of the maps and noticed this area named 'Flemish Village'.

Could this possibly be the area in question?
The major north-south street in the center of this screen capture is Western Avenue.
As you can see, Santa Monica Blvd. is the east-west artery just south of the mysteriously named 'Flemish Village'.
