When I lived in L.A. one of my favorite buildings was the Garden Court Apartments (the white building on the left in this photograph)
I remember parking in front of it one night. It was vacant except for squatters (I remember seeing candles inside)
It was torn down quite some time ago.
This is where I found the photos.
