El Royale Apartments, 450 N Rossmore Ave, Los Angeles, 1931

El Royale Apartments, 450 N Rossmore Ave, Los Angeles, 1931The grandly named (and grandly designed) El Royale Apartments at 450 N Rossmore Ave, Los Angeles opened in 1927. This photo was taken in 1931 from the Rosewood Ave corner where we can see that the land around it was only just starting to be developed. So the El Royale must have really stood out when it opened. At least until the Ravenswood apartment building opened a few years later. While its surrounds may have changed dramatically, the El Royale itself remains largely how you see it here.
