Here is a 2nd contact sheet for Robert Frank's
The Americans.
He was in Los Angeles around 1955 - 56
(?)....(the book was first published in France in 1958)
I don't have a copy of
The Americans so I don't know if any of these photographs made the cut.
... (two are circled so maybe they made it in the book)

Bur-Mar Hotel bay window and the interior of a room (not necessarily a room in the Bur-Mar) with a view.

I'm drawing a blank on the Bur-Mar Hotel.
Two men walking through. . .the 3rd St. tunnel?
#3
I'm almost certain I've seen this one before.
Chavez Ravine?
#4
Mystery gate. (perhaps a cemetery?)
#5
.....The dark orb is especially perplexing.
. . . .more to come.
