The sepia shot is from a Harry Langdon film, \u201cThe Strong Man\u201d (1926) that was filmed in front of 3142 Wilshire Blvd right near the corner of Shatto Place. Look how gorgeous those two buildings were, and the beautiful detailing on them. It\u2019s no surprise then that Rolls Royce operated an auto dealership in the corner one.
