I happened upon this Who's Who in Los Angeles (1924) a few days ago on
eBay
eBay
The book included a handful of photographs of retail stores.
The first one to catch my eye was the amazing interior of the "Southern California Music Store".

I'm pretty sure this is the lobby of the Fine Arts Building at 811 West 7th Street.
This next image shows the spacious interior of the "Willard George Store".

-any ideas where this was located?
And here is the two-leveled interior of "Halbriter's Store".

-another mystery.
But the biggest mystery of all is this "Egyptian Salt Water Swimming Club".
As you can see the image is an illustration so I doubt that it was ever built. That said, I'd still like to know where it was going to be located.
As most of you know 1924 was the height of the 'Egyptian Craze' following the discovery of King Tut's Tomb in 1922.
A closer look at the beautiful filigree on the cover.
