This picture caught my eye as I looked through LAPL's collection earlier. As well as being an attractive building, the main business of Berman Furs ties it nicely with our recent fur discussion. LAPL date the picture at circa 1937.

The building at 9169 Sunset Boulevard is still there today. Even though it retains many of its original features, for me, the dark window and door frames make it look like a modern copy.

The building next door also has some simple but effective styling details. It must date from after 1937 as it's not in the LAPL picture. I spotted this building in a YouTube video called
LOST LOS ANGELES - Sunset Strip 1964 (it's at about 1:45-1:48). Back then it was painted green and the first floor looked different (original design?).
