Looking west along Wilshire Blvd toward the Pellissier building at Western Ave, Los Angeles, circa 1930sIn this photo, we’re looking west along Wilshire Blvd toward Western Ave from about Oxford Ave. That tall building on the left is the Pellissier building, which houses the beautiful Art Deco theater, the Wiltern. It opened in 1930, so I’m guessing this photo is circa early 1930s. On the left we can see a big sign for “Stevens quality ice cream” – does anybody reading this remember them? Were they as good as Curries or Wil Wright’s?
