In its early-20th-century heyday, the Alexandria was THE hotel in Los Angeles. It brings to my mind two questions: were ladies allowed inside the Gentleman\u2019s Grill or was this a sacred men-only space? Also, what happened to those glorious green light fixtures sitting on those platforms? The Alexandria is still around. After a long decline into decrepitude, it is now a condo building but I bet someone made off with those fixtures years ago. Let\u2019s hope they still exist somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This color postcard gives us a glimpse of the Gentleman\u2019s Grill at the Hotel Alexandria on Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles.
