White border real photo postcard showing the Chamber of Commerce Building at the corner of 12th St and Broadway in Los Angeles, California. This building was completed in 1924 and was demolished in the 1960s for expansion of the Los Angeles Times. Although the card itself is not dated, white border cards were produced in the U.S. between 1915 and 1930.
The Chamber of Commerce Building was torn down in 1968, to make way for an expansion of the Occidental Center, now the AT&T Center. The current building, located at 1149 South Broadway Street, is the home of the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Bureau of Sanitation.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, you are thinking of the next door neighbor - one block north - the languishing Examiner Building, the one-time home of the Los Angeles Examiner - later, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, which ceased publication on November 2, 1989 - built by William Randolph Hearst, designed by Julia Morgan, and completed in 1914. The Mission Revival building is still owned by the Hearst Corporation.
