3 images. Murder, 26 March 1960. Body of Veronica Smith Locke found in warehouse at 830 Ducommun Street. ; Caption slip reads: "Photographer: Olmo. Date: 1960-03-26. Reporter: Farrell. Assignment: Murder. 25: Coroner's Assistants carry sheet-wrapped body of Veronica Smith Locke from boiler room of warehouse at 830 Ducommon [sic] St. 26-27: Dep. Coroners carry out body. 28: Outside view of warehouse in which body was found." |
As you can see from the partial sign, 830 Ducommun St was previously home to Armor Paper Products Co Inc. Despite the Ducommun address, the warehouse actually backed onto the river. I've arrowed it in this 1958 view. The building was almost literally in the shadow of the gasometers.
