A street scene near the Cutts Building (now the Great Western Building) 706 South Hill St, downtown Los Angeles, 1942It looks like grandma and grandpa accompanied their daughter and brand-new bundle-of-joy out for a day in downtown Los Angeles in 1942. I love how grandma’s in her best hat with a great big bow while grandpa is equally sartorial with his three-piece suit and bow tie. The new mother, though, looks a bit over it all carrying her precious but perhaps overly-wrapped darling in her arms. The marquee behind them shows the CUTTS BLDG, which is now called The Great Western Building and is still with us at 506 South Hill Street between 7th and 8th, around the corner from Clifton’s Cafeteria. I wonder if our family of four were on their way there to lunch.
