In this circa 1932 photograph, we’re looking west on Wilshire Boulevard from Fairfax Ave. The E. Clem Wilson Building (then LA’s tallest commercial building) went up near La Brea Ave in 1929 so I was surprised that Wilshire isn’t a little more developed by this point until I read that the Miracle Mile development didn’t really kick in until the May Company built its iconic streamline moderne department store on this corner in 1939. But until then, parking along Wilshire was a dream!
