e-r posted this a while back but with a watermark...

thought I'd scrub it up a bit...

Looking east down 5th Street from the Harbor Freeway, 1963

View looking east down 5th Street from the Harbor Freeway overpass in about 1963. Clear view of the Monarch Hotel (here showing as the
Monarch Apartments) on the NW corner of 5th and Figueroa with the Architects Building on the right (in the shade) on the SE corner. Nice
view of the Sunkist with the Edison in the background, a sliver of the Touraine (in the shade) and a touch of the Engstrum's flat cornice.

Perhaps most interesting, to the left of the Monarch we can see the back of the Barbara Worth up on Hope Street and between it and
the telephone pole the red brick of the Biltmore Apartments on Grand Avenue and a squarish black garage door on the Bunker Hill
Avenue side of the 4th and Grand garage. To the left of the telephone pole is a house on Bunker Hill Avenue.
