Looks to be an exceptional art deco building. Love the intricate detail.



I hadn't expected an elevator in the Swan house GW.



I wonder how many secret passageways?

I had no idea the 7 shaped building I asked about was this one!
After all these years I'm still trying to locate a photograph of the interior of the 'Stake Out' Bar. You'd think some retired policeman would have put a snapshot or two online by now. (of course, I'm sure there weren't many pictures being taken of their off-hour shenanigans)

And speaking of elevators, I remember reading a long time ago that the Amestoy Building was the first commercial building in Los Angeles
to have an elevator. (The Amestoy is shown above)
