The latest mention I can find of Amelia Street Elementary is in the 1938 CTA Journal. The site is currently occupied by LAUSD Projects Unit Central, a sort of management office for small construction projects in the district (

I imagine the old school was torn down some time in the 30's after the area lost its residential inhabitants.
