On the south (left) side of Wilshire in this aerial, the houses are, from bottom,
3944,
3950,
3968,
3974,
3986,
4016,
4032, 4036,
4040. On the north side are the real estate office of Frank D. Tatum & Co. at the NE corner of Wilton with 645 S. Wilton at the NW corner, followed by two houses that have proved tough to research--right now I believe they were numbered 4005 and 4011 Wilshire. (In my notes, I have that, among the odd things about these houses are their short stays on Wilshire--they seem to have been built, or moved to, their lots after 1921 and been gone in perhaps less than 10 years. By 1935, a Pacific System Homes demo building was on the lot of 4005; 4011 was the real estate office of Ray C. Burton in 1934, at least until it disappeared...the timing of building and business comings and goings is tough to parse on the NE corner of Wilton.) At the NW corner of Van Ness is
4031 Wilshire, with 4037 next door.
The houses I've posted on my Wilshire site so far are linked to their stories.
LAT Nov 24, 1935
Has anyone seen a good photograph of this structure?
