Architect John Paul Krempel (1861-1933), who later partnered with Walter Erkes (1884-1961), also designed the post-bombing LA Times building for General Otis.
Some Krempel/Erkes buildings remain, like the Matthias Apartments on the SW corner of 18th and Flower and Engine Co. No. 28 at 644 S. Figueroa.
