Hello everyone. I’ve been a lurker here for a while. I’ve gone through every page of this thread and have found many gems. A thank you goes out to everyone. I work for a Civil Engineering firm here at 2nd and Broadway in LA. I’m in the process of decorating the office with old maps and photos of downtown LA and in particular, this building. This thread has been very helpful, and in the process has been enlightening on the history of Los Angeles. Now every time I walk through the Plaza and past Pico House I feel like I’m walking through the ghosts of the past. I look forward to future posts and to sharing some interesting tidbits I’ve found.
Speaking of Ghosts…. I don’t remember seeing this posted here. If it has just slap me around.
Have you heard the story of the original Calvary Cemetery and Cathedral High School? I’ll call it “Early Noirish”.
The best story I found was this from the Downtown News(2009):
