Those are Chevrolets, 1930 models, I'd say. I posted something about Nugent Chevrolet a while back (
#7504 here). The dealership was once at 627 S La Brea until moving to 400 by 1934... so if this is actaully a shot from La Brea's auto row, it must be 627. H W Baum was a building contractor, which may explain his name being attached to the building.
