Here's the intersection in 1946. Notice the Los Angeles Public Library branch in the left of the photo.

Here, the old streetcar tracks are being ripped up in 1958.
Here's the same intersection on April 11, 2010. The old library building has since been replaced with a Craftsman-themed, larger library structure.

I think it's great that the brown stone staircase at the extreme right has survived after all these years.
But I have to mourn the loss of the neo-classical beauty of the original library. It seemed so perfectly situated on that small parcel of land.
Thanks for the pics sopas_ej!
