Haverfield Drugstore, northeast corner of Sunset and Laurel Canyon Blvds, West Hollywood, 1928This 1928 shot of the Haverfield Drugstore at the northeast corner of Sunset Blvd and Laurel Canyon Blvd reminds us how gorgeous some of the buildings scattered throughout Los Angeles were. Look at all that sumptuous detailing. I especially love that ornate decoration above the corner doorway. Amazingly, the building is still there and apart from garish signage is largely intact. Directly across the street was the Crescent Heights Market building which, in 1932, would provide a home for the soon-to-be-famous Schwab’s Pharmacy.

That same building in May 2019. See what I mean about the garish signs but at least the building is fairly intact so it’s a win.

    I try to avoid doing business with UPS just because they insulted our neighborhood with that grotesque signage.

    That looks like a 1948 Studebaker waiting at the light. I used to inhabit this place in the mid 50s.
