e_r, the c. 1933 photo below looks west on Apablasa. The break in the sidewalk at lower right is Cayetano Alley/Street. The
building in your red box and the one to its east are on the left in this image, and that tree is in the distance on the right above
the break in the sidewalk:

Huntington Digital Library
In the distance, above the blurry pedestrian, the building with the writing ("SEE ON CO") is on the west side of Alameda.
In the aerial photo you posted, I think I see that building at the left edge, about 1/3 of the way down.
Two other photos of that block of Apablasa . . .
Looking west from Juan Street:

Looking east toward Juan Street:

Oh and
here is a story about old Chinatown with an interactive map that I found very helpful.
P.S. You beat me to it,
