David: Re those last two shots--Earl C. Anthony's downtown Packard operations and his KFI were on the southeast corner of Hope and 10th/Olympic. At first I thought he building had been replaced, but it appears that it has been repurposed. It's basically unrecognizable, but its origins haven't been forgotten:

Here's a shot of the last days of the Anthony building as it was.


I'm sure we covered the streamline KEHE building here before, but I couldn't find it; presumably the drawing of the more bunkerlike KEHE is of an unused proposal for the Vermont Ave. site.


Info about he towers next to the Wilshire Christian Church are in these posts:
