Without telltale cars, it’s hard to date this wonderful night shot of the Holmby Hall clock tower building on the corner of Westwood Blvd and Weyburn Ave in Westwood, just near UCLA, but I’m guessing it was probably taken not long after it was built in 1929. I’m sure the Westwood Village developers, the Janss brothers, we proud to see their idea come to life. Holmby Hall was the first shop building to be erected in village. And it’s a credit to Westwood that it’s still around. Mind you, it’s a Seven-Eleven but it’s still there. And even Westwooders need somewhere to go when they have a 2am craving for a hot dog and neon blue slushie.

Daytime shot probably taken at around the same time:

That same view in September 2017:
