Some photos from the 1920s (and a map from the 1840s) depicting the Sanchez Adobe, now believed by many to be the oldest building in Los Angeles.

This most probably predated the pictured "modernized" Chrysler Jeep complex. LaBrea '68 (Blurry depiction of Fourth and La Brea, where the above dealership and others purveying and repairing modern dinosaurs once flourished.) http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...-B41-ISLA?v=hrUSCDigital |

It appears to be deco/mid 30's to 40's in its construction and design, and also has many windows so it appears to have been a regular building and not purposely built to hold switching equipment (like it's unfortunate annex built later, likely in the 70's or early 80's) The post showing the construction of the black deco building next door still shows the area as fairly low-rise and residential, it's hard to tell when the building was built and what it was for. Any one have any information on this gem hidden in plain sight? |
all kinds of awesomeness. thanks.

I certainly have never noticed it before. It is just south of Wilshire on the west side of La Brea. http://imageshack.us/a/img39/3576/aadeco736slabrea1.jpg google street views http://imageshack.us/a/img803/1979/a...reacabanar.jpg google street views I would love to go inside. __ |
