1943 snapshot looking north on Grand Avenue.
On the right is the Mayflower Hotel, the back lawn of the Los Angeles Public Library and the art deco Edison Building.

The same view today. The Mayflower Hotel is now the Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Public Library has expanded onto its back
lawn, and the Edison Building is now known as One Bunker Hill.
