"Harry B. Carpenter founded the Carpenter's chain with his brother Charles and operated many locations in Los Angeles including: Sunset and Vine, Wilshire and Western, Wilshire and La Cienega, Wilshire and Vine, Pico and Vermont, Silver Lake and Glendale and Sunset and Virgil. In 1936, after separating from his brother, Charles E. Carpenter opened three Carpenter's Cafes. A transitional project Carpenter's Village (606 E. Colorado) combined a Rite Spot Cafe and Carpenter's drive-in. Next he opened the Rite Spot Cafe in Pasadena, located at 1500 West Colorado Street (now considered Eagle Rock) and the Santa Anita Cafe at Huntington and Colorado."

Previous Carpenter's images seemed to focus on or were attributed to Sunset and Vine location. USCDigital > http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=8075 and > http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=8076

Don't recall seeing images of the Rite Spot superstructure appearing in the background in above Carpenter's Village shots. Several "Rite Spots." Unclear that they shared much other than similar name, "Rite Spot."
