When Broadway closed and it changed to Melvyn's they were flipped back over to become "M"s again.
Yes, I do notice trivial stuff.

Thanks for the extra info,
Bristolian. I hadn't noticed the door handles. Here's an enlargement of the entrance.

Staying in Westchester, here's another Stiles Oliver Clements design photographed by Julius Shulman. It's
"Job 264: Stiles Oliver Clements, Westchester Market (Los Angeles, Calif.),1948".

The location of this building nearly had me stumped. After striking out when I Googled "Westchester Food Palace" and "Westchester Market", I went back to
my Shulman Westchester Bank of America post. Here's a detail view from one of the images at full resolution. In the distance of this north-looking shot on S Sepulveda is the huge Westchester sign (next to the black pole on the left).

Here's a 1953 aerial view which I've labeled with some of the buildings we've discussed recently. Assuming that I've correctly identified the Westchester Market/Food Palace building, it was demolished sometime between 1994 and 2003.
