Thanks for the comments
HossC and
Lwise.
The original photo and the GSV show the same outline of the west-facing door on the warehouse on the south side of E. 7th.
Those structures where American Apparel is now used to be the Wholesale Terminal complex belonging to the Los Angeles Union Terminal Co. They were designed by John Parkinson, of City Hall (etc.) fame and date from 1915-20ish. The Nabisco factory (now lofts) is on the other side of Alameda.
Given there were many, many businesses nearby, there were many, many opportunities for strikes, one would think.
