OK, Noir Sleuths:
The Los Angeles Mormon Temple, located in WLA on Santa Monica Blvd at Overland Avenue. It's been there since the late 1950's, and is on a sizable chunk of land, considering the area was developed thirty years prior as residential.
What was on this land prior to the 1950's temple? Was there an earlier Mormon temple? A school? Something else? Just open land?
Dazzle me with your intel.
