P.S. The 1909 birds-eye map shows Baker Iron Works next door to Capitol Milling, at N Spring and College, now surface parking:

Yeah, now that is interesting. I find Baker in four separate locations on the 1921 Baist, all near one another and the Baist notations being a bit baroque it's hard to tell what they're trying to signify. Llewellyn Iron Works is pretty much in one very extensive plant down at Main and Redondo.
