Here's a strange image.

Chateau Art Studio L.A.


photographer's stamp on the reverse.


Chateau Art Studios, 213 So. Broadway Los Angeles



The Chateau photography studio would have been on the third floor of this building.

If I remember correctly, this is an old building covered in a 'new' façade.


In fact, I think the vintage photo in the window shows the building before the renovation (the taller building on the left).

And there's another vintage photograph in a second window next door.

As you can see, the building on the corner has been replaced by a taller building, and the building on the left now has a blade sign for Municipal Water & Power.


In fact, the building on the corner is still there as well, also with a 'new' façade.

If any of this is incorrect et me know. I'm kinda winging it here.
I'm pretty sure we've covered these building in the past on NLA.
