Of course the photograph may have been taken in front of the transfer company at 910-59(?) Figueroa Street.

Nope, most likely another satisfied customer of Deluxe Transfer. The paint store in the photo is now the Original Pantry.

Somebody posted a message which has since disappeared identifying the street as Beverly Dr., based on the mix of palms. So 90% of the credit goes to that NLA regular. This view is indeed on Beverly, looking south toward Canon. The most easily identifiable feature is the leaning tree at the corner on the left above the Thunderbird. The tree is gone after 2011. Columbo is parked by a path leading to Will Rogers Park. In the oldest GSV view, the pilasters on the left aren't hidden by a hedge. Lax Code enforcement, no doubt.
