Impressive images Handsome_Stranger!
You mentioned "TERION" so I immediately thought "Criterion", a somewhat common name for cinemas.





After a little research I found out the 1,856 seat Kinema Theater at 642 S. Grand was renamed Criterion (and later the Fox Criterion).

The word Criterion is written on the roof and there is an advertisement for a Lon Chaney film.

So was this the theater used for that window shot from the Outer Limits? I have no idea.
