below: The Pacific Fidelity Bldg can be seen down the block on the right (that's Bullock's Wilshire on the left).
To my surprise Westmoreland Avenue has been blocked off at this point.

It turns out the Pacific Fidelity Building is part of Southwestern Law School. It's now known as the Westmoreland Building.

The taller of the two is The First Baptist Church at 760 S. Westmoreland Avenue.

below: The shorter tower belongs to the first Unitarian Church at 2936 W. 8th Street.
