This is great
Downtownkid! Where were you last night when I was going through all those directories?
Dkid, I believe this is Gladys street or an adjacent street in the area before it was re-zoned.

update:
I
finally found a photograph (it's originally from lapl so maybe we've seen it before on nla)
"Pastor Bromley Oxnam's All Nations Church at 810-816-824 E. 6th Street."

My kind of boys club; they're receiving a delivery of
OH Henry! candy bars.
If I'm reading this correctly, the house on the left is the All Nations Library and Clinic.
DETAIL
postscript:
"Today, the Church of All Nations, what is left of it, sits abandoned, falling apart in downtown Los Angeles.
Only 80 years ago, it was at the center of a progressive vision for reform in the city.
But the brickbats began to fly and Bromley Oxnam soon departed, red-baited out of the city
because organizations like the 'Better America Federation, hated him, hated his vision,
and hated how Oxnam defined 'Americanism."

I'm not sure when this was written...so 'today' is unknown.
