When I first happened across this photograph I wasn't sure what I had found.
http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/si...d/17823/rec/21
"General store at Eighth Street and San Pedro, ca.1923" -the description also included a question, "City garden (name?)"
Later, it dawned on me that this is the
same 'house' that was located at the former City Garden Park!!
I posted this back in November.

Here are some details from the 1923 photograph.
The large wood cut-out of a man pointing.
A man picking out a whip.
Does anyone know what the round object (sign?) near the window is? -also note the 'Puritan Hams and Bacon' advertisement.
There's also a partially obscured sign behind the utility pole. -it says....something ELLAS, and maybe parking in rear.
Sponges & Chamois. -& lawn sign advertising Union Gasoline.
The USC description also includes, "The two-story shop was started in 1874 by F.X. Eberle and his wife, Marcetes, and contained about six acres."
