I have known about Pandora's Box and about the 1966 riot and knew it was around Sunset Blvd. and Crescent Heights. While driving by that area recently two friends were vaguely discussing how that area at Crescent Heights & Sunset Blvd. looked at one time and mentioned the median. Last week I decided to look up some info about it and that's when I discovered this is where Pandora's Box was. It just never occurred to me a building could have been there because I have only known it as the way it appears now. I was quite surprised. Your aerial photos and links sure put that into context!

A couple photos of Pandora’s Box I don’t see have been posted on NLA:
