Thanks for yesterday's follow-up, GW. I had a feeling that you'd know more about the Wilshire Boulevard locations.


------------------


Here's part 2 of Julius Shulman's "Job 4714: Krisel/Shapiro Associates, miscellaneous buildings, 1971". The first building has signs for Blue Shield and 3M Business Products Center.



The second has a large RCA sign on the roof, and a Remington Rand sign nearer to street level.



Both from Getty Research Institute

The first building is now Royal Plaza at 3407 W 6th Street. Its neighbor to the left can be added to our growing list of light-colored buildings which have recently received a much darker paint job - in this case, dark gray rather than black.

The second building can be found at 1730 W Olympic Boulevard.

In the picture above, it looked like there may be a couple of survivors beyond the parking garage on S Burlington Avenue, so I took the Googlemobile to find out. Have we seen these before? The house on the left is 1030 S Burlington Avenue, and the one on the right 1036. The property websites date them at 1923 and 1900 respectively.

The next two houses, 1046 and 1050 S Burlington Avenue, are both dated at 1900 by the property sites (do they just say 1900 when they don't know?). 1046 (left) looks distinctly more original than 1050. Pictures at redfin.com show the inside of 1050 almost completely gutted.
