Here's another interesting snapshot from eBay.
Folks, this one is definitely Los Angeles.
eBay / no longer listed
As you can see, the Home Savings Bank of Los Angeles occupies the building across the street.
. . .but I have a question.
(of course I do)
I've been trying to figure out what this is.
(see BELOW)
If it were angled downward I'd say it was a coal chute leading to the basement. . .but this thing angles upward.
And it's not one of those sidewalk elevators because it's flush to the building.
.........What in the heck is it?
Also, what in heaven's name is going on around this woman's head?
...It looks like the multi-globe streetlight across the street has exploded!

The only explanation I can think of would be that the lovely lady has two huge flowers sticking out of her hat.
