The Zebra Room was at the Town House Hotel which opened in 1929 on Wilshire Blvd. The building was once among the most luxurious hotels in Southern California, and its Zebra Room was its well-known restaurant.

There was also a Cape Cod Room next door (although I suspect this wasn’t permanent, but a temporary display, perhaps for the benefit of the crowd outside.
