I remember this photograph now.
I thought the space between the two buildings was just a parking lot;  there aren't any rr tracks merging onto Hill Street
even though this photograph appears to have been taken in the 1940s.

As
NCD says, the original Dick Whittington image at USC is dated 1955. Here's a detail view of the Hill Street Terminal Market. Maybe the cars will support the later date.

I also found this earlier view from 1928.

The Hill Street Terminal Market even had its own match books.

I just noticed the two tanks at the top. Are they for water? -they seem a bit undersized.

The "tanks" seem to be decorative urns. They also appear on the 1928 image and another I found which is dated 1926.
