I found this postcard a couple days ago on eBay. (I think the description is a bit confusing)

"In order to accommodate the thousands of Comrades to the 20th American Legion National Convention at Los Angeles, Sept. 19-22, 1938,
Victory Post No. 54 offers for your approval and invites you to visit "The Longest Bar In The World" located at 224 South Hill Street, Los Angeles Calif."


eBay

The description makes this sound like a bar that was built specifically for the 4 day convention? (by post #54)

Also, what building was located at 224 South Hill Street? (I'm pretty sure it's just a lot now) -although 222 South Hill is still standing.



Here's the reverse of the postcard.


We've visited the longest bar (or was it soda fountain?) on NLA, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this one.
