Are these the gas works surrounded by Ducommun, Center and Commercial Streets? Using Google Earth, that address seems to be empty (possible environmetal issues?) and surrounded by the original brick wall (seen in Our Gang's "Pups is Pups" 1930).

Does anybody know where the gas tanks seen briefly in 'Best Years of Our Lives', possibly the ones in the above shot, were located? I believe the scene in the movie is when Dana Andrews meets Theresa Wright at a lunch counter across from the tanks.
