No, Martin, I certainly can’t see Los Angeles giving a hoot about putting up a building even half as beautiful as this one! Seems to be too much to even ask to respectfully maintain the ones that are left! I guess we should be grateful that the old buildings that remain standing are still there, but many are so made-over they are downright ugly.
Thanks for sharing.

Their San Francisco building was quite nice too, both of them, before and after the quake. It was my understanding that the surviving Hearst bldg. in DTLA was based on the California “building” at several world’s fairs in the US, which was a large mission style structure, variations of which were built from Chicago (1893) to San Francisco (1915).
Even markets in Los Angeles were nice in those days though, as several Ralphs you’ve pictured have shown, and others, closer to downtown in those gorgeous Spanish style buildings one of which survives near K-Town.
It’s certainly a style we don’t see anymore!
