They sure don’t make car showrooms like this anymore. This was the DeSoto dealership located at 611 South La Brea Ave, built circa 1927, photo dated July 1929. The detailing on the front of the building really is quite exquisite—the ironwork over the windows, and those four urns at the top. Even more remarkable is that this building is still there…ish.
Thank God the building survived but what happen to all the details???? Why are they always hidden on these buildings that you send pictures of? What idiots always want to hide or destroy the artwork on these grand old buildings? I hate it!!!!
