I love the architecture of The Conway. I'm also curious about the sun room/skylight on the roof of the Maryland Apt.
I also see a Hotel Sequoa in the middle distance.

I'm guessing these were taken from atop the Normal School. The Key West was at 533 S Grand so was replaced in '27 by the Mayflower Hotel. Everything along the other side of the street became the Biltmore, the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Garage, and Pacific Mutual Life Insurance in the 20s.
I confess to not knowing anything about their history but agree that they are very cool...
