Where did Marchessault St start on the west? My Gillespie's Guide led me astray as it has Sunset running to the Plaza and Los Angeles St ending at the Plaza, but it's very tiny and has many little 'cheats'. Bellevue, I realize now, was on the far side of Olvera.

Sorry to lead you astray e_r. I knew where I was, but not what to call it :-(
Here's an aerial from the other direction:



Marchessault goes out of frame at an intersection at bottom center; it apparently stops being called Marchessault at this intersection. Marchessault essentially becomes Sunset, proceeding straight down out of frame and connecting with modern-day Sunset at Broadway. The street proceeding down and left out of frame is Spring Street.

Incidentally, I can see from this photo that the big Brunswig sign visible in the earlier photo is indeed the back side of a building that faces new high street - it's at bottom right and has a water tower and a square tower on it.

Ah, finally found a decent picture:



This indicates that sunset did indeed go all the way to the plaza, at which point it became Marchessault.
