'mystery' rooftops.
I found the following four photographs in a very old file of mine.
They show gymnasts performing stunts on a rooftop(s) in Los Angeles [c.1930s]
There are
two big hints:
#1 I had them filed under "Poly" / so they could be gymnasts from L.A. Polytechnic High School (or they could just be training there) -perhaps for the 1932 L.A. Olympics?
#2 I recognize the tall building in the distance in the first photograph (below) as the Mode O Day building on W. Washington Blvd.

below: This appears to be a different rooftop.

I am especially intrigued by the building behind the gymnast; it has some excellent architectural detailing.
In this similar photo, it's clear there is a sign on the building, F O R E something.

Does anyone recognize the building in the distance?
Here are the whole photographs as they appeared on eBay.
The fourth photograph shows a gymnast in an interior setting.
