Below is a photograph from 1913.
It is a view north on Grand Ave. from between 3rd and 4th Street.
I would guess Daniel and May resided on the east side of the street
up where you can see the group of trees (or perhaps a bit beyond).

This is the best I can do at the moment.
At least it gives you a good idea of their neighborhood.
Keep visiting the thread though Mark, you never know when one of us
might come up with a photograph of 212 S. Grand. |
That Hotel Fleur De Lis in the photo reminds me of the movie
L.A Confidential where the club Fleur De Lis figured prominently as a high class house of prostitution patronized by the corrupt city elders. Wonder if that hotel is where author James Ellroy came up with the name.
